News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Someone on Hacker News doesn't understand the emotions of people who aren't him!? Now that's a surprise!

On a thread like this there's always someone who says pretty much these exact words. And then someone else who has to start a comment with "This." because that shows emphatic agreement and has not become in any way trite.

The level of arrogance required to hear/read someone say "what was said hurts me" and then respond with "no it doesn't, you're not hurt" is just stupefying. Yet it happens routinely around here.

From the article "Then, Salon.com reported on the story and changed the wording of the tweet." This highlights my second point.

As to the first, your words hurt me.

Ok but people were upset about this before it got to Salon and it doesn't seem that your comment is so nuanced as to observe that distinction.

I'm sorry I hurt you. How were you hurt by my words?

All the more to my point then.
