because that's exactly where people like me came from. Not sure what to do differently here. Maybe it's a matter of poor opinion mixed with horrible sense of humor.
The only place HN really accepts attempts at humor (or unfounded speculation, for that matter) are as tossed-off epilogues to more substantive and serious commentary. Picture an HN comment as an (extremely short) journal article: you have to summarize your data and experimental method first--and then, optionally, can state some conclusions.
Probably because all the people who complain online about witty comments -- but have none of their own to contribute -- have been driven here.
This wasn't a witty comment. Just an often repeated meme.
