> It is a call for more communication and understanding of different opinions.

It's a poorly argued rationalization for antisocial behavior from someone with a bad case of engineer's disease.

You don't have to eat the whole apple to know it's bad.

> I wonder what made people so aggressive and short-tempered about different points of view recently.

It might have something to do with the ongoing pandemic. I'm really not interested in yet another article from someone who's too precious to be vaccinated.

You broke the site guidelines with this comment and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29828751. We ban accounts that do that, so please stop doing that.

The message in your profile implies that the account is using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. That's not allowed, and we ban accounts that do it, regardless of their politics or ideology, because it's not what this site is for and it destroys what it is for. So please don't do that either.

I summarize:

+ You don‘t want to see or understand another viewpoint,

+ You did not even read the piece before flipping into hating it,

+ You hold a quite irrational emotional view on other people’s private health decisions (how come?),

+ You don’t dare to post under your real account,

+ You still believe „others“ to be antisocial.

I wish people like you would finally go back to Reddit, which seems to align more with your emotional frequencies and your intellect. You might find the aggressive narrow-minded echo chamber you seek there.

This community, in contrast, has always existed for intellectually curious people.

You've unfortunately broken the site guidelines badly as well, in this post and in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29837328. This is not at all a good way to defend this place for its intended purpose.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
