>dissuaded by the emotional and nonsensical conversations he was getting into here

If they were conversations, then he must have been contributing to the emotion and nonsense, otherwise he could have just ignored it.

I don't know who your engineer is, but in some professional forums, I have seen prima donnas leave in a huff because they just couldn't stand to be challenged and couldn't refrain from going off-topic by discussing the personality of the other person(s).

This is the precisely the kind of crap I'm talking about that brings HN down, where commenters just assert facts with no information whatsoever.


The only fact asserted here is that conversation involves more than one party.
