Go back to 4Chan, please. "u mad" contributes nothing to any discussion.

yeah that ad hominem he put up was real valuable.

You down vote the trolls. You ignore trolls if you do not have enough karma to down vote.

Meta conversation should make some kind of attempt at politeness and helpfulness. Referencing other communities often attracts down otes.

>Referencing other communities often attracts down otes.

Why, because we're "Team HN"? That's silly.

Because it's counterproductive, pointless, and against the guidelines.

>counterproductive

Unless it encourages someone to change poor behavior.

>pointless

See above.

>against the guidelines

Perhaps. Perhaps the guidelines should be rethought.

No, because we're not team hn.

Saying "go back to 4chan" is exactly the kind of team hn behaviour that people don't like.

It's not a team thing, it's a "let's keep useless content away from here" sort of thing.

You know what they say about two wrongs...

Downvote me all you like. That says more about the state of HN than any one post in particular.
