I agree that his comment was not in good taste, but I think he must have simply misread or skimmed the parent comment, or misunderstood.
Your comment is a great example of unnecessary escalation. He made a mistake, no need to pin all this angst about the disconnect between doctors and engineers on one mistaken comment on the internet. While I think the parent commenter should apologize, I think ideally you should too, this is blowing things out of proportions and that's not the kind of dialogue I like to see on HN, or anywhere on the internet.
- killjoywashere 9y agoFair enough, happy to go first. I hearby apologize for escalating, although the disconnect and it sources stand. What is sufficient remedy? Shall I delete my comments?
