  • Aside from the poor tone of this style of writing, short declarative statements don't convey the same information and leave a confusing message.

    Without knowing how you arrived at "the point", you are pushing all the work onto the recipient (or worse, every reader of your comment on HN) to verify what you say and how much they can trust you. That could involve researching, checking your credentials, or putting in effort to understand/overlook the emotional tone.

    "This is the answer. I have the answer" style dumping of information is a poor form of human-human communication, unless you are directly answering a closed-ended question.

  • Ban reason and the moderator name were public on Something Awful, which allowed the community to respond (actively or passively), and for more senior moderators/admin to take public action against rogue moderators. The transparent audit trail countered the incentive to ban somewhat, but a lot of people also treating getting banned as a game.

  • Locks on bathroom doors are for privacy, not security.

  • First we would run into the spam-filter problem no different to email. Then we have to choose: do we concede to viewing the world through a lens of WhatEverAI, or train it locally on our own thoughts/views on the world, and hope that AI model is never compromised.

  • We break eggs into the known confines of a pan. We don't spray egg all over the place unless we want to end up with it on our face.

    Even if it did make sense to "move fast and break things" inside working critical systems, doing so should surely be within the law and without going against the most basic of known security measures.
