I’m guessing you know the OP with great familiarity?","comments":[{"id":46517911,"user":"DANmode","time":1767730135,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Their boldly wrong comment tells their lack of experience (and indeed knowledge) within this topic.

You can tell because…the immediate reply (from other users) included government notices indicating the reality they weren’t aware of.","comments":[{"id":46517969,"user":"hnlmorg","time":1767730419,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

My point was that your comment was a low effort personal attack and contributed nothing. As well as itself being ironic.

The HN guidelines explicitly say one should avoid such comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html","comments":[{"id":46519848,"user":"DANmode","time":1767739179,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Your point wasn’t subtle - just wrong.

The comment I replied to did nothing but detract from the conversation,

and attack the original commenter’s sense and logic - despite the original commenter being correct!

> That seems like a stretch. That wouldn't even make sense for them to do. Strange claim to make.

Not a stretch.

Makes perfect sense.

Not strange, unusual, or uncommon!

& a quick search would have shown them the blind spot

Maybe it was a blind spot for you, too - based on your responses.

(^THAT’S what getting personal and off-topic looks like)

Link the guidelines to the commenter I replied to, instead of users following them.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":5,"url":"item?id=46519848"},{"id":46518241,"user":"tokai","time":1767731532,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"
