Exactly great response. The point of my post to be a thought exercise, but apparently struck downvote nerve. Heh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was a bad thought exercise.

from another comment you made> The way I see it, those who can't see through my statement to the true meaning with some form of EQ, are the ones downvoting.

Nah.

Does it feel good to say the people that disagree with you have lost the ability to reason? I hope you don't actually believe that flamebait self-aggrandizing nonsense.

"don't cross-examine"

I don't think that's what cross-examine means there.

Though I'm surprised you're citing the guidelines after writing the comment I referred to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47093780

I'm not trying to backseat mod here but do you really think that comment is okay?

I'm not attacking individuals.

> I'm not attacking individuals.

Not knowing exactly who you're attacking doesn't make the attack okay.

I'm going to keep hoping you said that out of anger rather than actually meaning it. It's a completely unreasonable inference to make about people.
