Read: I am not one of them or have the social skills/drive to be one of them therefore they are scumbags.

This kind of personal attack is not allowed on HN, regardless of how wrong you think someone is. Please don't post any more comments like this.

You don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

If you have actually lived in the society that actually exists, rather than the one entirely in your own head that you wish to believe in, you'll recognize that there is a positive correlation between social position and being unethical. (1) Power corrupts, (2) power attracts bad people, (3) bad people are more willing to make moral compromises to get power, (4) good people in power (it does happen) are usually not cynical enough to tell when they're being lied to by their lieutenants.

It's completely understandable that you'd rather live in your Pollyanna fantasy world, and that's fine. If you want to believe that the world is 6,000 years old, that is likewise OK with me (even if you're wrong). What I won't let you do is spread delusion to the young and gullible. If you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, then kindly quiet down and let the adults talk.

Hey. Personal attacks are not allowed on Hacker News, even when someone else flames you first.

(This originally read "regardless of how wrong you think someone is", but as someone pointed out to me, that was the wrong way to put it, and the original offender was upthread.)

Damn dude, I think you forgot to take your Midol today.

Mixing in a gender slur makes it worse.

This is the kind of thing we ban people for, especially when they don't have a history as a positive contributor on the site.

Understood. Will not be commenting like this again. Thanks for the warning dang.
