Hacker News Reader

I've got comments trashing FB and Zuckerberg on HN from 2009. These people have managed to make Zuckerberg a sympathetic character to me.

I wish you would tone down your rhetoric, however. I've been guilty of it myself and understand your frustrations, but it makes things worse.

You're right, the point gets lost, I hear what you're saying. I guess it reflects that I'm tired of trying to have normal conversations about it, I feel like the people who blame everything on Facebook are completely unhinged.

They are unhinged. I've got worse things I've written than you because of my frustrations that I won't get into. We are in complete agreement, it seems, except on certain tactics. I will probably be more agreeable to your approach after 7pm, but I try to stay off HN after drinks.

I toasted my old fashioned to you tonight.

There may be some truth to what you're saying, but your first message is what most people would call unhinged. "Fuck people who believe in X" without then substantiating it (or substantiating with "it's so obvious I don't even need to") will only find an audience who already agrees with you and does nothing constructive.
