alt Hacker News>The name-calling and vitriol of typical internet arguments doesn't belong here.
But his false accusations towards me belong here? So it's OK for me to be attacked, but not OK for me to respond back in equal fashion?
Also, I didn't call anyone names, "clueless" and "obtuse" are adjectives describing a person's observed behavior, not names, and I was very generic saying "some people" to not target and offend anyone specific since I believe in mutual respect.
Because if the person wanted to argue in good faith, he could have just said "I can't believe this, please post a source and go into detail", but he didn't, he immediately jumped to a personal attack with false accusations, in 100% bad faith. And you think I'm the one blame here, for simply responding in kind? Please.
He was being petty, but I wouldn't use the terms "name-calling" or "vitriol".
It's a very bad look, to put it lightly, to throw around the terms 'clueless', 'obtuse', and 'useless', and to tell people they will be replaced. In defense of anything, not just AI.
Edit: Interestingly, the parent was edited to be even more hostile since I commented (usually it's the opposite).
