Is it just me, or are HN comments becoming more and more negative?
mrshoe: Oh shut your dirty trap, you whiny moron.</sarcasm>I still find HN to be a friendly, positive environment. Let's keep it that way!Edit: Wow. Either starting your comment with a joke is somehow no longer OK, or nobody else agrees with me that HN is still friendly and positive. I've been reading HN everyday for a very long time. I think these negative trends are mostly just an illusion due to the novelty wearing off for newer users. "If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)" (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)
