I’m disappointed you’re being downvoted for asking people to be nice to humans. I’ve probably ruffled a few feathers challenging deference to corporations’ wishes too, but you were explicitly asking people not to be mean to other people and that doesn’t deserve to be penalized here or anywhere.

I appreciate that you also see that calling others ignorant during a civilized debate is uncalled for.

Not to mention that it does not align with HN guidelines: "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names." and "Please don't post shallow dismissals."

I expected better etiquette from someone who is said to have been an English teacher.
