I simply stated my experience — I never even said my experience was right or that it is wrong to read the article, or that others should experience HN the way I do.
I’m a slow reader and don’t have time to read lengthy articles, and therefore am drawn more to discussion.
You are (likely) a quicker reader and are drawn more to articles.
There’s room for both of us in the world — and on HN (I hope).
You said "I often wish HN would just allow titles to get posted and HN folks just have a discussion around that". If there's anything I can wholeheartedly say I disagree with it's that, so yes there's a lot to disagree with here.
I think that was an inadvertent juxtaposition of the words "just" and "allow": the GP probably didn't mean that links to articles should be forbidden, and only subjects for discussion ("titles") should be allowed to be posted.
At least I read their comment as "I often wish HN would allow, besides links, just titles to get posted and HN folks just have a discussion around that".
Would you still wholeheartedly disagree with that, too?
