But not minding my own business and wanting to know more is something I'm willing to spend a little time and energy on asking about.
Anyway the point is, his questions are valid. I myself wonder and just like you have the right to mind your own business, I have the right to ask questions.
Genuinely, I do not think OP was asking questions or was seeking answers to them. That is what asking questions is - seeking more information.
OP was using question format, but the goal was not information seeking. The goal was to tell us all that OP thinks guys made bad choices, deserves suffering and it is not valid to be interested in mini document about him. It was about voicing anger.
I don't agree with the speculation, I think there is missing information. but I feel it's a valid possibility IF there isn't any missing information that can invalidate his point.
The difference between my stance and others here is that he is getting attacked because his post has the potential to "hurt feelings" and be "judgemental". There's a cancel culture-esque attitude that pervades the responses where people just sort seem like they enjoy getting offended or defending someones "identity".
Does a question that is "judgemental" and that "hurts feelings" should be ask-able on HN? Which is more important truth? Or the hurt feelings of a person who likely will never read this.
I'll be frank, it is pretty stupid to do what that man is doing. We're missing information here and the parent is asking the right question, albeit a liittle too harshley. But again who cares about the harshness. Just address the question and topic instead of protesting his "impoliteness" or his "judgement".
Anyway the point is, his questions are valid. I myself wonder and just like you have the right to mind your own business, I have the right to ask questions.
