Thanks for reminding me how far down HN has come in the last six months or so. Engineering, science, logic and rational thought is no longer a valuable concepts here. This site is now firmly rooted in constant appeals to emotion. It's not about right or wrong anymore, or even best, it's about feelings.

As of 1/1/2011, I quit.

See -- it works!

I shouldn't gloat, as you seem to post interesting articles and comments, but I couldn't pass up this object lesson.

Rhetoric > Reason for the foreseeable future. It's okay. Just accept it, use it, and you can still make the world a better place.

Or ... fail to accept this fact and let reality break you and make you unhappy and/or ineffective.
