Well, sincerely, my objective here is to spark thought provoking discussion, which should lead to personal cognitive improvements. But I must admit that it's kinda not my fault that the format I chose is really provocative.
edit: And doesn't that defeat the purpose of a nerd-rich forum like Hacker News? The stifling of creativity and abstract thoughts? I came here to socialize and find bright minds, no offense.
I'm not worried about whose fault it is, I just need you to stop posting like this to Hacker News. As I said, it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. And it's particularly dismaying to see in a thread such as this one.
