We don't need a mini-sermon. We just need you, like everyone, to follow the guidelines. Criticism is fine. Emptiness and thoughtlessness is not. You're welcome not to participate here if you're unwilling to put a little effort and substance into what you post.
We did that, but the best way to show you want to contribute positively to HN is to email us (hn@ycombinator.com) rather than raising the issue only after you've been pulled up for abuse.
