Maybe I am not participating in the 'right' conversations, but I don't recall HN being a forum for such a silly name calling ( and if it is, it tends to be called out ).

<< the hero always crushes evil and triumphs at the end of the story. But in real life, for every success there are thousands that wither along the way.

I think even in US kids learn really fast that there are no heroes; especially these days. One could argue this is one of the factors so many have withdrawn to easier past times.

Just to clarify, I'm not calling HN out on this specifically. This place is one of the most civilized corners of the web. In other places it's rampant though, and I'm pretty sure some of the people holding this view are here.
