xkcd on the comment policy of News.YC
The cartoon is cool, like every other xkcd cartoon, but has nothing whatsoever to do with News.YC.

Is it really "on news.yc" as much as Buddha's (or whomever) teachings is "on news.yc"? I believe that's swombat's argument.

Right. Unfortunately the title evokes "Great Job Redditors! We Got ___ To Do ___!"

When you have disputes on the internet a magic fairy takes you to meet the other person face to face. This supposedly resolves all animosity and things resume normal.
That will work. Sure.

I think it's face to face. And if I could see you right now I would tell that to you.

I can be quite rude face-to-face. So long as a magic fairy is protecting me, why not?
