what is the beef with patio11 ? He has given my good comments on my posts over the years. That is how HN is designed.

You know how some people don't like other people who have found success? If your success is defined "lots of karma on HN" (as Mz's seems to be based on her profile) you're probably not going to be fond of those who are popular and generally well liked.

Outside of YC employees and maybe tptacek, Patrick is one of the most prolific commentesr on HN, consistently provides a lot of objectively correct information, and is a pretty nice guy to boot.

I had read the original post and the comment you are referring to, but I did not post in the original thread. While I think you do have very valid points and definitely some words to consider. When I got to this line I paused.

"Men and women need to learn to interact at work."

While I think it is very true the question I asked myself is, should my company be the training ground for people to learn to get along ?

The answer I came up with is a resounding no. I think that knowing how to interact with the opposite sex is something the individual is responsible for before even entering the work place. If they want to pay me to teach them manners then so be it, but I am not going to pay them to teach them manners.

Side note on patio11, I don't know or care who the dude is, from what you describe he sounds a little sketchy but you know how internet rumors etc are. Sometimes internet fanboys rush to support their hero, I didn't want to be confused with those :)

My opinion is, Nuke em from orbit, its the only way to be sure! but I do think your approach can be valid as well, just not the one I personally would take in this day and age.

Side note - I don't like the term terrorist being used so lightly.
