Can you elaborate your grievances in more detail than "your comment stinks"?

  • Sure. While clever and entertaining, I didn't find your comment to be a constructive contribution to the discussion. Also, I've found that attempts at humor on HN are often misinterpreted and can stir up trouble. (No, I did not downvote your comment.)

    • My comment contains more information more densely than what I could have stated flatly. This thread is the third longest on the post, and contains interesting and unique discussion. I don't see any troublesome misinterpretations.

      Your concerns seem to be misplaced.

      Emotionless propositional statements are not unconditionally better than other forms of writing.
