I very much appreciate the urbane nature of HN, and strive to contribute in a way that brings light; not darkness.
My digital community experience harkens from the USENET days, which made the worst pissing matches on Faecesbook look like polite disagreements between scholars.
A day or two ago, someone made a real mild slap at me (I can come across as a bit tiresome, if you haven’t noticed. Take my word for it; it’s preferable to my USENET persona), using a very tired old troll technique, and someone else flagged it.
I was actually surprised it was flagged, but it does show that people take civility seriously, hereabouts.
