Answering on HN because you have to be serious and never criticize and be pro american and enjoy everything including the latest trends and every project that makes it to the front page.

HN does suck, I'll give you that, but until something substantially better comes along I'll probably stick around.

Yes, do please be (generally) serious. Feel free to criticize and to assert an opinion, but you should also present your reasoning.

I come to HN specifically because it tries hard not to be one of those peanut gallery sites we love to deride.

Kudos to dang and company. They're doing it right.

You don't have to enjoy everything posted. You don't even have to read it or agree with other readers. But just like with real life interactions you should strive to not comment on something you dislike without showing reason and restraint.

I don't think Hacker News has a problem with not allowing criticism or not allowing anti-American viewpoints.

Everything else, I would agree with though.
