> As a 20-something-year-old tech bro, I’m no stranger to this attitude of “I’m smarter than you, so I’m going to pick your ideas apart and tell you exactly why you’re wrong.” It’s a mindset I’ve moved away from since I first recognized it in college... And yet, this 20-something-year-old tech bro still thinks he's smart enough to lecture the HN community about how toxic we are. I've learned a lot here by watching people with opposing viewpoints try to pick each others' ideas apart. As long as that's done through well-reasoned civil conversation rather than hurling insults, I think it's one of the best parts of HN. |

Agreed, rather patronizing at that. There's nothing wrong with arguing the point, as long as it stays on the point and does not become a personal attack.
