>I know you said reverse, just spelling out they're different.
Hey. Sup. :)
I didn't say reverse.
I said:
>Somewhat, but not exactly the reverse, is Tall poppy syndrome.
Next time, and forever after, check points better before commenting, including the point that is right above the comment that you replied to, aka mine.
Pinky promise? :)
Welcome to the AI (r)age, where people comment without thinking or reading.
Oops, mea culpa.
Entschulding!
It was happening much before that, and not only on HN.
In fact, it has been happening forever, and anyone who doesn't know it is a rotten egg.

Well, this is some fun irony. An attacking comment, for offering an explanation, and acknowledging the prevalence of that particular cultural item.
You just attacked an explanation, including personal slag like "anyone who doesn't know".
I did it because you misquoted me about my use of the word "reverse" in a sentence, as I clearly pointed out above. So it was like making someone (me) look like they said something they didn't say.
But maybe I went at it too strong.

Typo, entschuldigung.
