One of the most passive-aggressive habits is avoiding negativity experiences and emotional developments to feel positively correct. Maturity realizing empathy seconds, that line numbers need to grow exponentially for any form of -logy, requires a deeper stance for tense problem solving pain points.
I agree with the avoiding negativity, but can you elaborate on an example of avoiding "emotional developments to feel positively correct"

No, hypocrisy. You don't get to pick and choose who to interpret charitably unless you want to be a hypocrite. But here's the thing. That idea is valid even though your dislike of my post is going to drive you to continue attacking me unnecessarily. and that is why I have a tendency to dismiss people.
"Charitable reading" is not synonymous with "ignore abuse and snark". Edit: oldmanjay - I can't reply yet, so editing here: mreiland is basically arguing that abuse should be let through because of 'charitable reading'. I'm commenting against that concept, not chiding mreiland for being abusive. However, mreiland is definitely being snarky - if you wanted to read this comment as chiding the behaviour in this thread,…
Request for a special case: if we are the original author or it's a ShowHN, can we allow gratuitous negativity by declaration? I've had some people talk some mad shit about intercooler.js and yet, after engaging them a bit, I learned some very useful things.
Guidelines like this should have specific examples to aid in their definitions so we can criticize or agree with them. What could be considered "mean" to someone emotional/thin skinned, might be interpreted as helpful criticism to someone not so sensitive.
Sometimes it's really hard to say something respectfully negative (oxymoron), and even harder for it to be interpreted as respectful. I, for one, appreciate when people talk trash to me (especially when I'm wrong). It's an awakening I sometimes don't get from a less firm/colorful counterargument.

The whole site needs rewriting and modernizing. Considering the audience, it's kind of shocking how stale it is.
That's true if you assume that every feature moves the community forward. But not all of them do; many features regress us. For instance: unlike on Reddit, there's no indication when someone's responded to one of your questions. As a result, very few arguments last more than a few hours here. I'm particularly leery of collapsible threads, although my understanding is we're about to get them anyways.
Whatever. [waiting]

I disagree. A lot of HN's character and culture are a result of how unmodern/unconventional it is. For example, not being able to get reply updates by email means you have to come back to the site to check, for example. Is that good or bad? I don't know the answer, but it selects a different audience. A modern HN would be a different HN community and culture.

Old Hacker News Guideline: Avoidant (Kill Pain.) New Hacker News Guideline: Avoid Trauma (Kill Pain. Be Nice!)
