I've been lurking here since it started. It's not patronizing - it's pointing out a basic statistical fact. Has the bar on HN truly fallen so low that pointing out that anecdote != data is now considered rude?

- vacri 9y agoIt's really weird that you've been on the site for 10 years and only just now decided to bust forth with a handful of comments of this low quality.
- StavrosK 9y ago"Pointing out" is what you did, "rude" was how you did it. For example: "It's almost as if you don't understand that rudeness is about the tone instead of the content". Or: "It looks like you're trying to move the goalposts; would you like some help with that?" Or: "> 'It's not patronizing - it's pointing out a basic statistical fact' Interesting how you think the two are mutually exclusive." Etc.
