No, I&#x27;m fine with lots of opinions that I disagree with and the majority of those are not harmful. But this sort of drivel has no place on HN as far as I&#x27;m concerned, in fact if this were to become the norm (that you can spout any sort of nonsense as long as you do it &#x27;respectfully&#x27;) then I feel my time on HN should come to an end.<p>And maybe it should.<p>As for your edit: yes, exactly. That&#x27;s the sort of thing that will eventually result if you condone this sort of trash, it won&#x27;t happen overnight but it definitely will happen.
