Thanks! Yes, translated into your terms it sounds like the flippant ones I was referring to.

Unpopular opinions are fine in principle - we definitely want to hear minority views on HN. But it's super common for people to pre-emptively load their unpopular-opinion comments with sarcastic or aggressive language, no doubt as a defensive against the anticipated negative reacction from the majority (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). That never works well. But I'm just speaking generally - I don't know if it applies to your posts.
