What is wrong with calling him the way he reflects to be? and honestly, I've seen worse name calling here, if you can call it like that anyway.

- dang 11y agoWhy is "Be civil" a rule here? Because if it weren't, incivility would dominate and destroy the community. This doesn't stop applying just because someone else did worse. On HN, please post civilly and substantively or not at all.
- adrianlmm 11y agoI understand your point, I just don't think I wasn't being civil.
- tptacek 11y agoNot extrapolating a visceral disagreement with someone to either a condemnation of that person or a diagnosis of mental illness or dysfunction seems almost like the essence of HN civility. "Don't call people sociopaths" seemed almost too banal to comment on, but this is is a pattern that recurs several times a day on HN.
