No, I'm not. I put forward arguments and observations.
"Stupid" is an observation, a correct observation, and it is not targeted at a HN user, and it is not supposed to motivate an argument by itself.
In contrast, the comment that insults me does not put forth correct observations; rather, it puts forth an "argument" that is motivated by being insulting (i.e., is not even a valid argument).
Please double check before you call someone on HN a hypocrite. Unfortunately it's a very serious allegation and it's not OK to make that allegation casually and be wrong about it. Technically, you owe me an apology, though I'm not holding my breath.
