In San Francisco and Rooting for a Tech Slowdown

I saw this comment because I read all of DannyBee's comments, because they are frequently pretty great. That's a big part of how I read HN.

Another person I read religious is 'dang, whose comments are the informal moderator log of HN.

And why I'm saying this to you is, pretty much everyone that gets called out for incivility on HN deploys the argument you just did: "my incivility was justified by the comment that preceded it".

I'm not persuaded.

You asked!

And I mostly recognize your name from comments I find to be rude.

So here we are. :-)

If you see another of those, please do call me out. You'd be doing me a favor. Rudeness is a tendency I have to fight hard to try to suppress.

Honestly, I think I'm a little different from your average HN'er on this. And from dang as well. I don't care if you're "rude", I just care if you're right. I just don't place that high a value on civility, though I do understand that others do.

Truth be told, I kinda see that to my advantage, since I like to think it lets me see truths others miss when they're expressed in an uncivil manner.

Anyway, the other reason I know your id is that you're working to transform the very broken world of tech hiring, and I most sincerely wish you the best there.
