I can't believe people on HackerNews are upvoting that comment. Does it really add that much to the conversation? In the time I've been here on HN I've come to this position. When I reply or submit, I like to consider a hypothetical someone in a year's time, mining HN comments for insight and information. I'd like to think that what I write has some use to the in context, and at the same time accurately reflects who I am now. And yes, the reply fits in that mould. In a year's time if someone came across that comment, I'd like them to know that I thought it peurile and unfunny, and I flagged it. Maybe I am just an old fart, but get off my lawn!
