Of all the hills in this little pale blue dot, the decision to pick this one as the location to commit seppuku over someone else’s interpretation of an analogy not only seems wasteful, it begets the question: why?

But this is the Internet. A modern marvel built for the purpose of inflating one’s ego at the cost of others. Me included, of course.

Now, do me. Please.

That's not at all what's happening. I just made an observation because I truly doubted how someone couldn't understand, especially when their text indicated they did.

What's weird is when people like you involve themselves for no reason at all though.

> Now, do me. Please.

How about you do us both a favor and just never reply to me again? You don't have that in you though, you're one of those need to have the last word types, so have it, so at least I can then be done with you :)


Ok. Only because I don’t want to ruin Dang’s Memorial Day weekend. Lord knows he doesn’t need yet another man-baby emailing him with complaints about some idiot on the internet making fun of him.


You'd be the one here being dealt with since you're brazenly breaking the guidelines due to your not-exactly-veiled insults, themselves a result of you inserting yourself into a mild disagreement just so you could fight in the first place. Some people, eh?

Fantastic bait though. Well done :)

They made it so much better with a witty reply. I was just thinking this is one of my favorite HN threads I've seen in a long time. And now you've ended it with the HN trope of "I have no sense of humor but I still need to point out why I'm better than you."

Different strokes for different folks.


> Different strokes for different folks.

Indeed. Personally I thought the unwelcome interjection was asinine and combative with less than pure motivations, but glad you were able to enjoy it.


Thank you, that’s very kind.
