Oh dear. It’s an HN thing. I have had brushes with it only once or twice across various accounts across years but it’s very much an HN thing.
Whenever you see an utterly useless quip (or sometimes even name calling or offensive words) being heavily upvoted you should know that some alpha HNer has arrived on the scene :)
But to be honest I have never seen author Tarsnap engage in such privileged gentlemanly d-baggery. He is quite cool, as they say it.
Anyway I just ignore it and move on. But again OP could have worded the question better. I mean no matter how good or bad you want to feel about it — it’s just a vc run anon forum and just another forum.
I definitely could have worded it better, but it's a little crazy how different the discourse is seen when the subject of a discussion is something well-liked by HN vs hated.
