Please don't suggest someone hasn't read the article. It sounds hostile and doesn't really add anything to your comment.

- MustardTiger 10y agoIt does add to the comment. It hopefully encourages people to actually read the article. People can not contribute to a discussion constructively if they do not read the subject of the discussion.
- blowski 10y agoFrom the HN Guidelines: > Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."
- MustardTiger 10y agoI know it is in the guidelines. I am saying that I disagree with that guideline as it does not accomplish the goal the guidelines are intended to accomplish.
