Idk if that is a quote or a rule? but it is dismissive in a weird way.
It is fair to say dont post “this is turning into xyz” as it doesnt contribute to the discussion. And that is fair. i could have explained why rather than dismiss the post.
I make no good hacker claims but i didnt find this interesting. I am in the minority it seems.
