This response, and your personal attacks in general, are why Hacker News is not what it could be. You're getting up votes not on the quality of your response, but because you adhere to the same ideology as the up vote brigade. (which makes your disclaimer in your profile amusing.)

One of the reasons I generally don't respond to responses to my comments is that so often they are along these lines.

Do you want to try and make me feel ashamed for making my comment (Something that is doomed to failure) or would you rather have a productive discussion?

Which answer do you think is better for the site?

And, for the record, I often go weeks without posting here because I have work to do.



No, it just struck me that when I saw the link I already knew you would be right in there with a huge comment and sure enough there it was.

As for hacker news not being what it could be, it is what it is and it is pretty good. Much as I try to kick the habit I keep coming back and reading.

I apologize for any offense I caused. I really like most of your stuff but the libertarian rants can get a bit much at times.

As for the vote counts, I could not care less. I'm happy they're no longer on public display since they were a great distraction.
