Ensorceled

Maybe journalists should do all that work for Clout and love of their craft.

If they were real journalists, they'd be homeless for our benefit and amusement.

View on HN

It works for a great deal of Software Development.

It actually also works for a large amount of journalism.

There is also a fair amount of journalism that is being self funded now.

Bad faith arguments are discouraged on HN.

It's sarcasm, not bad faith.

Please remember Poe's law, and how constantly applicable it is here

Sigh. I mean, I thought I was way outside the realm of Poe's law with that one ... guess not.

So should be quoting HN rules without explaining exactly and very specifically how and what you're referencing applies.

"Bad faith" is pretty self-explanatory, is it not? Of course it was sarcasm, the point being made is a bad faith assumption of the GP's point.

The point is not in explaining "bad faith", but in explaining how and why the comment you're replying to is "bad faith". Was not clear to me at all that you were being sarcastic.

We're running in circles a bit here but the author of the comment I responded to claimed in a followup comment that it was sarcasm. Sarcasm and bad/good faith discussion are mutually exclusive.

Inception level guessing and assumptions you're making all in this thread.
