Yeah but I don't pretend to be totally oblivious like I've seen many users do. They clearly want to imply something but they act all polite and dumbfounded to mask their actual opinion.

Those comments also add nothing to the discussion (but they make the person who posts them feel INCREDIBLY smug).

And regardless, your digging into my comment history just to prove your worthless point is proof enough that this community is insufferable -- I wasn't complaining about asking for sources, I was complaining about not being sincere about it.

Not that different from LinkedIn to be honest, when you tie your identity to your HN account.
