CWuestefeld is correct to ask for some source. Anyone can claim anything on the internet. It's not some fake academic interest.

And you're clearly conflating a user's karma with how many comments they have.

Cite your source (did you see it first hand? If so say that) or you're just spewing BS even if there's some truth to it.

He is not correct.

No one needs citations to voice a commonly shared perspective or experience on an internet forum, get real.

My bad, he only has 3,300 comments. That definitely makes things so much better!

The only BS here are comments, like yours and his, not even remotely attempting to add anything useful to the conversation and attempting to pretend to have some higher standard while not even being able to adhere to it yourselves.

Hypocritical and uselessness in the same breath.

That sounds like an echo chamber, not something I usually associate with HN

Try contributing.

Could I offer my unofficial adjudication to the proceedings, as several points of procedure are being overlooked.

Thou shalt not disparage the overpaid, and underworked.
