So go bury your head in the sand on some other site where conversations are limited to things like battery chemistry then. I don't think anyone would really care if you did that.

Don't be surprised though when the intelligent, compassionate people you're conversing with start noticing and commenting on the big bad police state that's been descending upon them.




HN would be much worse without the contributions of regulars like tptacek and potatolicious.


Still. Why complain? Continuing a back-and-forth over a couple of silly comments certainly doesn't help. It doesn't make people go away or make them change to your liking. I guess the questions to ask are "What can I do?" and "How much is it worth?"

I mean, sure you can offer the odd complaint now and then and hope others are with you or you can organize others around a complaint to see where that gets you. You could go directly to the controllers of the board and complain.

The path of least resistance is always there though. If you don't like where you're at and you have no effective way of dealing with it, the best thing to do is to relocate.

Anyway, I should not have been gruff about it earlier. It could have been said more politely. So I do apologize for that.
