> One that had a referrer as a thread on Hacker News kept insisting I couldn't be a real person, and wanting me to do basic math like 2+3 "before he would talk to me." It was gross. I'm sorry, but I literally laughed out loud reading that one. It was gross to have to do natural language processing plus arithmetics? #metoo I hate it when people force me to do arithmetics early in the morning. So gross! Seriously though, what I do hate is when money-hungry people hijack worthwhile movements for their own monetary gain.

Since the parent mentioned that in the context of an overall pattern of harassing comments, you're in the wrong here. Not only have you broken this site guideline: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." ... you've also been just plain rude. (Edit: and by adding the "money-hungry" slur, crossing into bannable incivility.) Please don't do these things on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
