If the HN communities behavior is to point to a TOS I didn’t agree to at sign up, I’ll go ahead and logout and stay away
That’s some bait n switch, end run around norms, patronizer enabling, dark pattern nonsense.
The point of these guidelines is that _generally_ most people follow them and it stops this place going to garbage like every forum before it, and allows it to stay a place for professionals to discuss topics, rather than us vs them flamebaiting and boring jokes.
You're totally welcome to go, but you're also welcome to stay. If you step back and calm down, you might find you like it here :).
