It is a deeply personal choice. It's also one that doesn't get any easier when people insist on being dicks about it.

I don't know why it's so important that some random HN contributor be polite about this. Isn't everyone here speaking to you, and not your friends? Why does their tone matter so much?

Given that the context is that culture matters and that HN attitudes are relevant, I'm attempting to make the point that being rude does not help shape the attitudes in the way we-the-commentariat want.
