>comments like the one that zuckerborg made do absolutely nothing to raise the level of discourse
I disagree, I think he artfully illustrated why some people find blogs like Sebastian's so repugnant. In doing so, he even managed to run down a laundry list of reasons.
Wasn't poorly written, either. Would you share an example of how better to express what zuckerborg wrote?
>And thanks for the jab at my (obviously inferior) background.
Inferior? I grew up in poverty. I haven't really seen this kind of behavior outside of the American middle-class.
That is, the blind boosterism that is a plague here. Not to mention the rampant Me-Blogs that get posted and cheered here, absent substance.
I'm exercising a great deal of restraint, too.
Your intellect and character aren't at question here, it's your aesthetics. Stop looking for an excuse to feel indignant, you don't have one.
Don't paste me the guidelines, you just got done decrying the "Fall of HN", something that PG has chastised people for in the past. Don't add hypocrisy to your involvement in this discussion.
>Maybe mattmaroon was right about HN.
Cut the meta bullshit and sideways complaining.
Do you care so little for sobriety and humility that you would defend a "blog" like Sebastian's?
