I have been participating on HN for years never been accused of that before. What exactly are you referring to? Furthermore I can't fix anything as I can't edit.

I'm referring to the personal swipes in "if you can't actually formulate your own thinking in a comment but are so lazy", etc. Yes, there's an "if", but it's still unduly personal. That's why I said "crosses into" rather than "is". By "fix" I just mean editing that kind of thing out in the future. Shouldn't be hard. And thanks for being an excellent HN contributor!

  Ok but can we then have an addition to the rules that says "thau shall not ask others to go read something to make your argument for you" ?

    That's clearly not what was wrong with your comment!

      I know but it's what triggered it and it's a little bit like the "dont tell people they haven't read the article" territory.

        Oh, I realize I misread what you meant there. Hmm. I agree that's not great but I'd have to think about whether to make it an explicit rule.
