| that's not what happened. if you click the link you included, your "self-respect?" comment isn't on that thread at all. because it was a reply to my comment. you're intentionally misrepresenting what happened. let me point out how you "slipped" and took a "rude swipe" - you don't play by your own rules. i made a post, you replied to me just saying "self-respect?" implying that i had none. how can you just drop insulting comments like that on people who are just participating in conversation? two words, no explanation, just plain rude. Isn't your "self-respect?" comment in bad-faith, given your own rules? "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something." "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." From the New Yorker profile of you: "They treat their community like an encounter group or Esalen workshop; often, they correspond with individual Hacker News readers over e-mail, coaching and encouraging them in long, heartfelt exchanges." Is that just BS? What was encouraging or heartfelt about your response to me? |
