Do you have something to say about the issues? Don't worry about me, thanks anyway.

Edit: As far as learning something, the GGP's citations were nonsense, as I pointed out. What has anyone offered, other than a demonstration of the fundamentals of misapplying statistics.

you're ruining the mood of the discussion generally bringing in negative vibes.

nobody's worrying about you, rest assured.

Spot on.

Social interactions don’t thrive when negative emotions are present.

People want to feel good about what they are doing.

Even the used car salesman that wants to be your friend knows this… bring good energy to HN as well.

That's your argument? You don't want bad energy, whatever that is? Maybe that can be added to the HN guidelines.

lol. Just address the issues, if you can. I've done nothing more.

I don't even see something negative in what I posted - it's pretty positive to me. I didn't say, 'we're all going to die' or say something fatalistic (like the comment I originally responded to).

Unless you mean 'negative' is 'disagrees', which of course badly is miscontrued in open intellectual debate, especially on HN.

> nobody's worrying about you, rest assured.

That seems pretty negative! :)
