A launch post is not a place to attack other users personally. Neither is any other HN thread for that matter, so please don't do it here.

I do respect your moderation, however I addressed the statement, the choice of words, not the person.
To sarcastically reword someone's statements using fake quotation marks* to depict them as exploitative is at minimum an accusation of insincerity, and the snark adds an additional layer of aggressiveness. You also used "cognitive dissonance" as a trope to basically accuse them of lying. All this is personal and, since it was an attack, crosses into personal attack.
