There is no personal attack here; other than, perhaps, one conducted by whoever keeps flagging my perfectly substantial comments.
But since you said "please", sure, I'll think about it.

Obviously these terms are open to interpretation as well as cultural differences, but in terms of how we moderate HN, your GP comment certainly counts as a personal attack. You can't use phrases like "you're providing a bullshit", "someone calls out your bullshit", and so on, when addressing another person on HN.
If you feel that someone's view is mistaken, you're welcome to respond to false information with true information, and bad arguments with better arguments. But please remain personally respectful while doing so.
