You're not offended enough to call the OP an idiot? Flagging or downvoting is one thing, but personal insults are, well, personal.

Anyway, apparently even PG thinks that sometimes driving a lot of people away from HN may not necessarily such a bad thing, as evidenced by the Erlang incident. I'm not pro drugs, by the way. I am against addictive and destructive drugs, having seen at first hand what it can do to people. However, I do try to keep an open mind about experimenting if it's just the one time and if it won't cause lasting damage.

Lastly:

In terms of actual interestingness, I'm sure anyone who is curious can search on google for first hand accounts of what being on drugs does/feels like.

The OP did ask us for experiments to try, and there were a lot of interesting suggestions, of which I think not all could have been found on google. That made it interesting for me, on a "I wonder if we could do X while tripping" level, and isn't that sort of mentality what hacking is about?



I called him an idiot, for posting an ASK HN: about a drug taking experiment to hacker news, then moaning that it got killed.


Ah. My apologies. That was rather inconsistent of him.


I did not "moan that it got killed". I asked for a reason why.
