The only reference to Swartz that I see in the parent comment is:

> Through good times and rough ones, including the loss of Aaron Swartz (who I only knew of through HN), this has stayed a place for real conversation.

And the rest was just upbeat talk in general.

Unless the parent comment was edited, I don't understand why you responded:

> What Aaron Swartz did to himself was tragic, but he did decide to break the law. Something that is glossed over here.

By "here", I assume you mean "HN in general", but your comment comes off as loaded (e.g., "did to himself" sounds like a conscious attempt at asserting a framing), and the timing seems poor (i.e., that particular innocuous comment, on this particular day).
