A plea for people to be nice to each other on the internet, unlike that mean article author.There's something about the HN moderation system that sends that sort of thing right to the top and it's degrading discussion.1 commentsPost comment[–]knieveltech·17 lat temureplyThis sort of thing isn't news for hackers.
