You may wish to reevaluate your approach to participation at Hacker News.

When I encountered this thread and your insult here, I checked your profile and found many antagonistic and low-value comments over the past few days alone. Your history considerably weakens your position and suggests that I can skip reading your other comments in this thread, and your future comments and posts, without being likely to miss anything curious or interesting.

This does your cause no favors, and will diminish and devalue the weight of your words here at HN over time. Please reconsider your approach going forward.

(I'm not an admin, so you can of course ignore my recommendation if you choose to.)

This comment comes late, but I've recently learned that "just curious" without qualification is a fair indicator of hubris.

A self-described "curious" person will seek out connections where none exists, force others to entertain their "great ideas", and eventually arrive at what looks like knowledge but is merely an illusion borne of their pride.

If curiosity is not balanced by humility, anyone could end up like the GP. Wanting to know, but unable and unfit to know because all their inquiries are perverted by their own unerring, unconscious self-love.

You may wish to bring that up to the site admins, who invoke curiosity as a primary purpose of Hacker News in various places. While it’s legitimate to wonder if it’s a sound direction, doing so here is unlikely to reach their attention. Consider dropping a note to them using the footer Contact link to let them know you’re concerned.
