(We detached this subthread from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10788759" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10788759</a> and marked it off-topic.)<p>This comment breaks the HN guidelines. Personal attacks are not allowed here. Your other comments in the thread aren&#x27;t civil and substantive either, because they&#x27;re mostly just venting indignation, and in the signal&#x2F;noise ratio that we care about, that is noise.<p>It&#x27;s worth observing that the indignation was out of place to begin with—the OP not only doesn&#x27;t advocate what you&#x27;re railing against, he said the opposite and even put it in bold, presumably to ward off misunderstanding. That mismatch is typical of indignation, which usually pre-exists and is waiting for opportunities to vent. In other words, it&#x27;s really about something else, which is why such comments always feel off-topic even when they don&#x27;t appear to be. (This is not a personal critcism; I&#x27;ve made many such comments myself and it took a long time to figure out that doing so is not real conversation.)
