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
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.
>Don't be snarky
>Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Get over yourself hnlmorg. Do better.
