Sorry, I regretted this pretty much after I wrote it. I'm upset, didn't need to be at you. I'm having a bit of a hard time compartmentalizing? all of this, despite my default cynic attitude.

Time for an extended break from things.

Kudos for recovering this nicely.

I've seen a number of HN threads lately where commenters regain their balance like this and respond in a thoroughly decent way.

A new pattern? I wish! but it's probably just the clustering illusion... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37303788)

what about a new top nav category next to show? decency

It's a nice thought but I wouldn't want to embarrass people.

p.s. Hi! has been a while...

I'd ask them to opt-in. I think most will appreciate their small, intentional effort being recognized.

Hello, back! I rsvp'd for March, you going?

[dang]

Yes indeed, see you there!

Thanks for your reply.

It's all a lot.

You were right the first time, the holier-than-thou sanctimony is a bit much, especially as it relates to these developments.

Nearly half the potentially responsive files still withheld (per reports of ~6M pages collected but only ~3.5M released, plus heavy redactions and privilege claims), and HN top commentary is about not rushing to judgement and conspiracy theories... maybe it's because the government is literally running an active cover up on a child abuse scandal that involves the billionaires, the elites, and threatens to take down entire governments.
