No, because your pessimistic feelings only serve to strengthen my claim.

I find it amusing that, even when directly calling attention to the overwhelming pessimism that is the default-state on HN, I'm met with a pessimistic comment with zero self awareness.

>because your pessimistic feelings only serve to strengthen my claim.

So me pointing out optimism in discussion strengthens your claim, because it's specifically my feelings that prove your point.

Well I'm glad you can prove yourself right, if nothing else:

>When the bitter, frustrated pessimists on HN shift their tone to being neutral or even mildly optimistic, then I will start worrying.

Denial sure is a worrying point.
