> People should stop talking for others

Other people should do that you say?

Yep, that's what they said. You can read it right there in the comment.

Are you trying to imply something?

I hope you're not trying to imply hypocrisy, because saying what someone should do is not speaking for them.

Yeah that's fair. It was a weak argument.

I didn't mean to say the argument is wrong or anything. I just think its dangerous to get into things like:

"As a hacker news poster, we all feel that ..."

Not even targeting this article in particular, it isn't bad at all from that perspective, just a trend I have been seeing and thinking about.

Yeah I get what you mean. I was just making a bad argument delivered in an unnecessarily snarky way. All good.
