I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm here for the insights. Trying to court everyone just waters down the comments until HN is indistinguishable from reddit. I prefer apparent condescension and a thick skin over PC half-conversations and watered-down intelligence.
You can have the insights without the insults. They add literally nothing, except to degrade the conversation until HN is indistinguishable from 4chan.
