| > Very clever, the ol' switcheroo. There's little cleverness in reminding you of the plank you've got in your eye when you're looking at the dust in your brother's, but thanks nonetheless. > Here's one that's still floating around: "there's nothing in that horrible presentation that a modern browser can't do". The presentation is bad, and aside from this value judgement the comment expresses confusion over the improvements of the project over existing browsers. > And you're calling me a dick for calling out comments like that? I don't know, were you calling people dicks? So your comment was not just advising, it was passive-aggressively insulting third parties? > I realise that my original comment AND this comment aren't adding any value to the conversation either Indeed, have you considered practicing what you preach and leading by example? > I'm just saying we aren't doing much in creating an environment where people are confident in sharing their work without fear of hours of work being instantly dismissed There's little evidence of such a thing here, there's a marketroid video with a fluffy and empty title. Meanwhile a few links below on the front page (at this time) you've got https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6314730 which shows an actual project with a number of interested comments, none of them negative as far as I can see. Even https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6314310 which looks nothing special at first glance garners mostly positive comments (or more neutral ones talking about the space/ecosystem, wondering about it v alternatives, etc...) with a downvoted negative comment whose author readily agreed being wrong when his mistake was pointed out. > I'm sure you wouldn't like it. I don't mind marketing copy and email harvesting schemes getting slammed. Especially when advertised as a "show HN" with no show and little tell. |
So save your "practice what you preach" and other cliches for someone else because this pointless conversation is becoming a parody of itself.
