How Should We Treat Each Other Here?
petercooper: My biggest problem is with people who haven't got the skills to communicate their point properly. In many debates here on HN (or even in single replies) people get personal and passive aggressive, labeling the people they disagree with "assholes" or worse.Debate is good and very healthy, and we should be having it, but some people's communications skills can't get beyond turning debates into personal attacks and IMHO that means I've automatically won the debate as soon as they do that.
