I don't think they were being condescending – there's a lot of material out there on why Tailwind is good, it's easy to find via Google, but nothing beats trying it out. If you don't want to do that then you could watch

Oh wow, my bad, I honestly thought you were joking. You may need to rethink your arguments as I found them indistinguishable from parody!!

Tone can be hard to judge, so you should append the /s tag to make it clear you're joking, otherwise people are going to assume you mean it.

Entirely reasonable of OP to posit bad faith on your part, especially given how you've reacted and the way you constructed a strawman to get upset about. That's on you, not anyone else.

What's weird about someone refusing to spend their limited time on things they don't want to deal with? Or do you think that reading and comprehension are activities that take no time at all, and therefore have no cost attached to

> HN is now the same as every other online community: trash. A trash community where you're posting over 10 times a day... Seriously, if you hate this community so much, why not find somewhere else where you don't get so angry?

The person you responded to is asking a question. I don't get why you need to be so weirdly sarcastic. (I have theories, but they're quite denigrating towards you, so I'll refrain from airing them) Anyway, I look forward to y

I also rejoined ACM last year (after a 10 year hiatus), mainly for access to the O'Reilly stuff (what used to be safarionline). Tremendous value, and the monthly ACM mag is actually quite interesting.
