> If anything, HN is much more snarky, just look at the comments on anything here.
Was your comment intended to be the perfect example of this? replying to a joke about insults in answers... by going on an entire rant about how it's easy not to get your question closed (which was not mentioned at all).
I'm not directly addressing my parent comment, but rather all the sibling comments. :)
Note, I do like the comments on HN, and spend more time here than on SO. I personally like how they're both direct and don't accept too much fuss. But I also see newcomers here getting burnt by "that orange website", not being used to how it is.
