Thank you for holding up a mirror, dang! Being publicly called out came as a bit of shock and really got me thinking.
The comment above really isn't me. Or rather, it is clearly me (since I posted it), but I don't want it to be.
Where I disagree with you is the implication that undesirable people bring bad behavior with them and pollute this site. I think it's the opposite: something about this site brings out the worst in otherwise reasonable people. Or maybe it's all social media.
In any case, the negative effects clearly outweigh the benefits from participation. This will be the last comment from this account; I'll send a request for deletion. Thank you for accidentally curing my HN addiction! I'll be mindful of the door on my way out :)
