The imposition of your morals is not a "serious attempt" to fix anything. You offer nothing but negative rants and it's tiring, to be frank.



I'm critical, not negative. Maybe they're considered to be the same thing in California but, where I am, the difference is still recognized.


That's a red herring. There are two problems with your harangues. First, there's nothing substantive in them—no factual basis or evidence or even experience. You're simply making things up. Second, they're utterly predictable and you recycle them through every tangentially related thread. That makes them noise, not signal.

Once or twice would just be normal bullshit of the kind we all post from time to time. That's part of conversation. But inundating HN with some weird simulacrum of a political campaign is an abuse of this site. It's beginning to dawn on me that it is a form of trolling. It is clearly not what HN threads are for, and it needs to stop.


I'm disappointed in your response. It's well over the line of what feels appropriate to me.


I don't think anyone would even care a bit if he learned the art of brevity but it's an endless stream of meandering 500 word screeds that visually take up a lot of space.


Because words on a computer screen is such a precious resource.


That's the same argument used by spam apologists.


You've confused the meaning of spam with opinions I don't agree with.


Readers' attention is a precious resource. The repurposing of the term "signal to noise ratio" to apply to mailing lists and forums is a reflection of that.


Once again, read my parent post. I found his post a good read so that's one bit of anecdotal evidence right there already. Something tells me you don't fully understand 'signal to noise ratio' either.


You seem to have confused "I dislike this" with "nothing substantive".
