No personal attacks on HN, please, regardless of how right you are or feel, or how wrong someone is or you feel they are. Maybe you don't owe that person better, but you owe this community better if you're posting here.

Sorry, you're right. I've edited it to be about the behavior instead of the person.

  • From the comment I see right now and the logic you're using here, "have you stopped beating your wife" wouldn't qualify as a personal attack.

    • And if we extrapolate your logic, we can never comment on anyone's bad behavior at all. My complaints are on topic for the article in question, I'm not just swinging at Moxie at random here.
