"I’m sorry this is hacker news and hackers know that BEAM is the Erlang VM, no introduction or explanation needed." is being an ass to a lot of people.

Hey Dylan, you’re being an ass.

Their tone was disgraceful, let me explain by giving you an example of how posts should be made.

“Hey! This looks interesting, quick search on Google didn’t explain what the BEAM is as well as I would like, can someone let me know what this is about in layman’s terms?”

This is inviting people to talk about the topic at hand. It puts the responsibility of knowing something squarely on the person who wants that information and it’s generally pleasant.

How the parent decided to phrase his desire for being spoon fed information was in fact disgraceful.
