I think that particular comment is inappropriate for HN because it is uncivil and unnecessarily offensive/rude to a specific person.
To object to the comment because it "doesn't teach us anything other than how you feel" is to say that any statement which conveys only "how you feel" is inappropriate for HN.
Is that really the way it works here?
What if he had said "I wish Zuck all the best!" -- would the moderators have come out against that too?
- sctb 10y agoNo, certainly not. Just that such things can often safely be omitted, but should definitely be omitted when they would disrupt the conversation by being insulting, inflammatory, off-topic, etc.
