HackerNews will be shut down for 10 days as we deploy counter-messenger technology.
replyGood news, the messenger has been neutered. You may continue messaging.
replyProductivity will go up, stress levels will go down, there will be fewer cases of down-vote-button-induced-carpal-tunnel-syndrome - DVBICTS - so it sounds like it is worth a try.
replyThats true - and I noticed that (but I wanted clarity from shots fired). Though the other follow on comments are interesting - say I may or may not endorse by how I wrote it, that my grammar/punctuation (it was just a fast cut copy) makes it look like i'm endorsing.
replyMy comment is a non statement but people are clearly riled up these days.
It seems like the messenger might endorse the message though, and is attempting to be coy.
replyFolks should be careful of people using the "messenger" title to attempt to obtain the appearance of impartiality.
