Nowwhere in the GP comment is the word “outraged”. That’s your word.

So, what, you wanted to be aghast or something and misrepresented the tone of the original comment with a selective quote and addition of the word “outrage”?

Shit HN says. Sheesh.

> Shit HN says. Sheesh

Indeed. I read the article, then I read these three comments. The first one reiterates points that the article made but seemingly doesn’t recognize the article made them. The second does recognize that but with a combative tone. The third is just combative.

Y’all can carry on as usual but none of that conflict was actually warranted.


Lest not forget the fourth comment, meta-hammering on HN comment quality


The third comment parodied the second word for word before the second was edited :-)


I don’t think that reflects better on the third comment :)


HN is so Tone Deaf


Opprobrium update urgently needed


Okay. I’ve edited my comment for tone and to stick to the facts. I still think the comment I replied to misrepresents the original piece by quoting very selectively and adding the word “dirty”.
