No, I'm asking if he thinks as a person who built Hacker News if this is what we want out of the technology ecosystem from the cybersecurity professionals.
Edit: dang is a good person and I don't understand how he's taking sides here with people sending out malware (because that's what this sums up to). I understand I came on a little hot, but that was unexpected.
I'm not taking a side, just making the shallow point that "fuck these people", etc., is not good HN posting.
It's common when we post a moderation reply for people to assume that the mods are disagreeing with them [1], when we're just asking them to follow the site guidelines. Those two things are orthogonal, but they fuse under temperature: that is, when one is feeling hot about something, it's hard to separate them. They come unstuck as things cool down.
(I don't mean to pick on you personally. This kind of reaction happens in everyone, certainly including me.)
I did a bit of walking away, had some water and feel a little better. It's sometimes difficult to separate things from being personal. Sorry, this whole thread has my BP going a little hot because of some things like this I've had to deal with.
It's not you, I probably went a little far there with "fuck these people".
After reviewing the thread I don't see any of what you are asking, here, upstream. I don't seem dang coming out on the same side as people sending out malware, and I don't really see that question present. I wish I had something more concrete to say, but I think your take here (and only here) is wrong and that you might have just entered this one on the wrong foot?
