I really do like HN, I think for the most part it has been beneficial to the community. But for the love of god, I wish half of the comments on Coding Horror submissions here would stop being the same old ad hominem attacks on Jeff's writing style. At least the HN community could add something substantive to Jeff's arguments.

ad hominem

Is it? If he had said "this writing style is bad because Jeff uses it", perhaps.

Ah, my bad.
