Well being nice and polite is part of the guidelines here, which is not such a bad thing.

But the pretentiousness annoys me sometimes, at the end of the day it's another forum of people who don't think they're part of a hive-mind... which we definitely are

Being nice is great, being fake-nice is not, sometimes politeness is a facade to hide passive-aggressiveness and up-you-up-manship.

HN readership is as establishment and conventional as it goes, it is the "study hard for the SAT/GRE/GMAT" crowd.
