Apologize to HN: Sorry for Trolling
2 points by benreesman on April 17, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
I was reading my comment history and came to the horrible conclusion that I am a troll. In particular I'm the worst kind of troll, the kind where it's not always clear that I'm trolling.

My childlike enthusiasm for debate (or maybe just my lousy social skills) have led me to say things that are nasty, inflammatory, sometimes clearly false, and ultimately that I have no desire to see appear next to my name.

So if I've offended any of you then I'm really sorry. I promise to reform, effective immediately.

Regards, Ben



Thanks for writing this, benreesman. I appreciate the comments you made such as http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=245964 and http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=245955

Neither of those seem trollish to my eyes. I look forward to talking with you.


I'm not sorry.
