He's using internet speak. Since it can't be communicated as such in any other way, it's likely an exception, although to someone who hasn't been read in it probably reads funny.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoThe commenter in question has been here 15 days and has left 4 comments. Other than the gendered term "lord" that is part of the username, I see no indication of gender. I would be curious how you determined it. I am unaware of an exception in the official HN guidelines that allow for all caps for "internet speak." Perhaps you could advise me where you found that? Perhaps you could also clarify what on earth the comment even meant. I am failing to comprehend if it is mocking homeless individuals or mocking toxic attitudes towards them or doing something else entirely. Thank you.
