> god damn a company for having a culture where people don't go around acting like jerks towards one another. God forbid we grow out of Kindergarten

This kind of thing breaks the HN guidelines, which ask you to "please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

Your interpretation was far from the strongest plausible. As a result, we got a weak and ranty subthread terminating in such hellpoints as "Your America bashing is completely uncalled for". Avoiding that is why we have the guidelines, so would you please read https://hackertimes.com/newsguidelines.html and follow them more carefully from now on?

Ooh, steelmanning as official policy. Excellent.


It seems silly to upvote dang, but, yeah.


LOL - "hellpoints"


For some reason I had the image of one of those scenic highway stops, except it's the highway to hell.
