I don’t know man. There are times when I genuinely want an argument to clarify my thoughts. There is zero argument- it just gets downvoted minus three. So then I sadly delete my comment. I usually assume since I’m not an American (wasn’t born here), am not able to get the nuances right, or maybe there’s some deep underlying social dynamics I’m unaware of. So better to just delete my comment and move on. These days I use HN primarily as mathoverflow - if I know how to work a problem I post. Otherwise best to shut my trap. HN isn’t the place for arguing- atleast not for me.
