Don't you think that's a little harsh to say, if not even disrespectful. As quoted from the Hacker News Guidelines (that I'm sure you must have read before):
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names.
E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened
to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
This remarks adds nothing to your point and rather discredits your opinion for many of us.
> I think this question doesn't really have an answer because it's too poorly defined.
This is fair to say, but I left it broad for a reason - hoping people would debate the general principle rather than specific details. If the broadness of the poll is too much for you, then ignore it.
