> I'm quick to write off people and I won't apologize for it. I have better things to do with my time than to give everyone the same amount of time and respect.

Well, if a comment/post doesn't deserve your respect, why do you take time to reply to it to begin with?

I always oppose to non tech savvy people saying "there are horrible things on the internet" that those are sorted out by themselves : what is bad is ignored. A bad thing becomes a thing from the point you give more attention to it than it deserves.




I didn't say comment or post I said people.

See, this is why people get dismissed, because they do things like quote me and then attack something I never said.


So you write off people, but not what they say? Since this comment was made in the context of HN, I assume your avenue for determining if you're going to write them off is their posts and comments.


brazzle, please stop. I don't really know why you've chosen to follow me around across multiple sites like this, but I wasn't even the only one trying to talk you down out of your addiction.

no good deed ever goes unpunished, eh?


I have no idea what you're talking about, I don't play that video game. What site do you think we had this discussion on?
