I didn't mean you are angry or upset etc, sorry I wasn't clearer.
I didn't say that you "need to be right".
You've repeated that you are happy to be corrected, "set straight". It just seems that you thought nothing I said was in the least bit helpful, so I never got to see that! I don't believe it. I was just "a bit rude", "mis-ascribed" many things to you, "put words in your mouth", etc. I get what seems a similar unpleasant experience interacting with you that you get from HN – please consider that it's projection, i.e. that you are the problem.

Say what you think. You think I'm dumb cos I didn't take the point that you repeatedly made. That you think I'm the problem. Be honest! Stop couching.
> I didn't say that you "need to be right".
But, you did! You said: "Try to avoid the "I'm downvoted because I'm right" disease". I have a disease, in your opinion, and its that I'm right.

But I really don't find what you say helpful! Sorry.
If I have an argument or a discussion point, I'm free to state it. At least, I think I should be. I'm happy to engage with a rational argument, and present a case. And if my PoV is found wanting, I'll embrace truth and reality. But your 'answer' is that I internalise an external problem. Delete my comment say, to not make a fuss.
But no, I'm not going to give up on reason or rational thinking, because the majority thinks something other. I'm hear to learn and share knowledge. I'm confident in my line of thought, that its rational. I'm very far from internalising or quashing my rational thinking for the sake of offending the majority, who I happen to think are frequently in error.
And, by the way, the majority really can be in error. It may feel like a comfortable consensus is occurring here on HN. I'm saying that this could be on account of the management of the site - certain uncomfortable realities cannot be discussed. Living in a bubble is fine in a way, but absence of knowledge won't make reality go away. I'm hoping the scientific method may force you (and me) to accept reality, even if we may wish for something else.
