That's not what the parent did. He called them hipsters. Hipsters, at least in the HN circles, is not a complement. It's a disparaging term. He called them hipster without any force of argument.

Also, definition 5: rough or immoderate vehemence, as of feeling or language. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/violence



>That's not what the parent did

No, it is what you did. You dislike what he said, and rather than address it factually, you lied about it. Calling people hipsters is not violence.


Two questions: 1) where did I lie? 2) How is insulting not a form of violence? To critique a work as incompetent is not to disparage the person. It is to say they didn't think something through.

In my post I said the NoSQL has a different definition of integrity. As a result, one has to use its terms in order to come to a conclusion about the validity of its claims. I took offense at the OP equivocating on integrity and then insulting people.


>where did I lie?

Claiming the thing you don't like (calling people hipsters) is violence.

>How is insulting not a form of violence?

How is foot not a color?
