Comment on Ask HN: Why are nasty comments more common on HN?parent

I think the author is questioning whether that is a good thing or not. Do we want to be in a culture of posturing and derision?

I for one do not think it is a good thing or something to be proud of. Criticism and derision are different and being toxic or caustic just brings the level of communication down. It does not reflect well on our industry either.
