Instead of ad hominem attacks, explain to me why exactly you think I am spoiled. I expect better replies from Hacker News than something like Reddit, and yours fails to meet such a standard. I appreciate constructive, well thought-out criticism to my arguments, but your post demonstrates nothing of the sort.
I don't say things like this. This is level DH0 (see http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html). If you keep posting these sorts of comments, then you don't belong on HN because you can't formulate a coherent argument against my points. Other people can -- just look at some of the other replies I've gotten. For some reason, you seem unable to do so.
In fact, I just looked through your comment history. It's amazing how many of your posts are gray, indicating that you have negative points. There are a lot of guides on the internet for coming up with better arguments (with more etiquette as well). Immature arguments belong on places like Reddit or 4chan. Hacker News holds itself to higher standards, so hopefully I can get you to reach these as well. If you need some tips on good debate skills, I will be glad to share them with you.
You have stated 3 times that you do not like that statement, but not once have you given me a reason why! "It's a lousy argument". You realize I could say this about anything? With any statement I don't like, I could just reply "It's a lousy argument".
Give me reasons. Intelligent, coherent, logical reasons. There is a tendency for people on the internet to just state things and assume the other person can read their mind. If I thought my own argument was lousy, then I wouldn't have made points in favor of it, would I? So I can't possibly know for what reasons you think it's a lousy argument.
(Also, "mind your own business" is a cop out. If you want to end the discussion, fine, but don't keep posting or I'll keep replying to you.)
Nobody in this discussion is likely to work for you; it is unknown to us whether you are actually hiring; and it's not obvious if you are going to enforce your own "rule" even if the stars would meet.
So your position is amusing. Why is it about hiring? Why not "I would not sleep with you if you have weak stance on piracy"? Or "I would not shit in the same toilet"? Why is it about hiring? I would propose it tells something about you. It tells us you're an authoritarian person. It tells that you are likely to try and force your world views over your subordinates or colleagues and/or demand extra, not work-related, activities from them. When rejected you would then use your leverage as a more senior leading to strife.
And this, as one well-known site likes to recite, is The Real WTF.
Likewise.
