The shift happened in November 2022, at least here on Hacker News. This discussion isn't really about your own small group/circle.

I think it's great to hate Musk if he's a pedophile (I have no idea what you're talking about, sorry, I don't watch the news except here, and that kind of news doesn't cut it here)

I don't think it's great to hate him because he's rich and he bought Twitter and you want to predict his failure. Most of all I think it's incredibly stupid to claim he's stupid.

> you want to predict his failure

I never predicted anything - please make sure you source your claims.

> incredibly stupid to claim he's stupid

Again, please source your claims. I haven't seen others claim he's stupid (sorry, I don't watch the news except here, and that kind of news doesn't cut it here)

Additionally, I don't think it's following the HN guidelines by discouraging others to share their unique viewpoints. Remember, the site is for _curious_ discussion!


Sorry, you've mistaken me on all counts.

I often use "you" when I should probably say "one", as in:

"I don't think it's great to hate him because he's rich and he bought Twitter and one wants to predict his failure."

Also, that sentence says "if." I didn't say you predicted anything or called anyone stupid, and I didn't discourage your viewpoint--my point rather was that your small group was not a counterpoint in this thread about Hacker News. I'm sorry you felt singled out.

Additionally you can see people all throughout this very thread calling Elon Musk stupid, so I don't feel the need to source the one claim I did make.


I still feel my discussion being stifled and I'm unable to now contribute curious discussion to this site for the short term. I encourage you to think about your actions here, and ensure that you don't negatively affect the space around you in the future. There's hundreds of eccentric personalities on this site, and watching your conversation in the future will only bring positive results.
