It was a rhetorical question, I thought that was obvious. Thanks for the useless answer.

You thought wrong. Please work on your communication skills next time you open your mouth or write something here on HN. Don't want to be pissing someone off or violating the rules. Thanks.

Perhaps your bubble simply doesn’t contain enough people with sufficient communication skills to help you pick up on rhetorical questions.

Also, someone who isn’t expecting an answer doesn’t pedantically repeat their condescending question across the thread.

I don't expect an answer. But it wasn't a rhetorical question. It's along the lines of "If you disagree with me or have evidence proving otherwise please offer it. I don't think you have such evidence but I am open to hearing it."

This is very unlike Your post which is full of malice. Yeah let's talk about our academic circles. I offer mine freely: UCLA. Not that great of a school honestly. It also depends on which department your in.

Now yours: UC Santa Barbara. You never offered it, yet I know it. So how smart is your academic bubble? I feel if it was bigger you'd be smarter about how you approach strangers on the internet. If you approach with malice, they can return your query with equal malice... or greater. Sometimes far greater.

nice try? never went to UCSB.

edit: looks like you found @whynaut on github? I don’t repeat usernames, though.

> unlike your post which is full of malice

Hah! You need some serious introspection.

bro I didn't go to github, or use your username to get your info. Well if you're not from UCSB, then someone else is getting a nice surprise in the next couple of weeks.

Yes, you did. It’s far too specific and confident an accusation to be anything else.

The only connection you could possibly draw to UCSB from anything in my life or profile is this username/that @whynaut person, because I’ve never stepped foot there or even considered it. Not sure what lying gets you here.

No there's other ways. But Probably still got the wrong person. Too late though and I honestly don't care enough. You're an ass hole either way.
