If you have to tell me what my position/argument/opinion is, chances are you're involved in a strawman.
In particular, I responded to someone complaining about people who dismiss others easily. I responded by stating I dismiss people quickly and will continue to do so and I explained why.
A few back and forths later and here you are telling me I'm arguing that HN should "ignore abuse and snark".
For those who are maybe a bit more middle of the road in these types of conversations. THIS is why I'm so quick to dismiss. I could respond back with "nuhuh, that isn't what I said" and let this stupid conversation devolve into a time wasting exercise in futility.
Or I could recognize that vacri didn't like something I said or the way I said it and came into the interaction with a negativity towards me such that he chose to do exactly what this thread initially recommended people do, which is to interpret things charitably.
And it is for this reason that I'm going to simply dismiss vacri as too biased and emotionally clouded to spend time on.
here is a concrete example of how and why I dismiss people. In case it wasn't clear to anyone.
