If it doesn't demand a "serious response," why respond at all? If it is a poor example of Hacker News, ignore it. If it isn't Hacker News, the flag link is right up there. Posting ad hominems and then complaining about the article's content is a little like telling me, "Dad, she started it!"
I know for a fact that you are capable of better, and so is everyone else that chooses Hacker News over Reddit.
