> Of course hate in modern lingo just means disagreement, or failure to support the specific legislative agenda of a particular group.

Maybe that’s just me, but I think we should have higher expectations to the language used in discussions on HN.

If we agree this is about a policy-disagreement, then let’s use those words. Don’t use the word “hate” when no actual hate is involved.

It doesn’t help bring across any points, it doesn’t make you look better, it doesn’t seek constructive replies and it doesn’t help the conversation.

Enough with the “hate” already.




My tone apparently didn't come across well. I was in fact criticizing the use of the word hate in this context.
