Repeat after me:

I will not discuss politics on HN.

I will not discuss politics on HN.

I will not discuss politics on HN.

I will not discuss politics on HN.

I will not discuss politics on HN.

One of my personal guidance statements (I hate resolutions) for this year in order to (a) keep the off-topic noise down and, (b) not engage in debates that are often pointless, can be offensive and end-up not helping anyone or fixing anything.

I am trying hard to stick to this. So far, so good. Although temptation is sometimes great. Almost caved-in a couple of times.

I rather be far more constructive and focus on tech.



I did hesitate before submitting this, but decided that it was on topic as it may have insights into the ever-present issue of signal-to-noise ratios in large online communities.
