Oh, are you simply existing here? Nothing else?

I am positive you are not blind to the parallels between your current actions and the actions of which you claim to be ashamed.

I imagine the distinctions matter more to you than the similarities, but I honestly cannot tell why. Are you now better than the twitter user because less people use hacker news? Or are you better because the people you shame are faceless rather than a specific individual? Or is it simply because you reached the top of the comments section rather than being the 10000th voice?

I don't condemn you. I believe you should be allowed to speak your opinion. I just don't support your condemnation of others, especially the fallacious comparison to a violent, physical mob.

What? What individual have I shamed here? I have no idea what you are talking about.
