I commented to complain about his swipe; you commented to complain about mine. I'm not sure where we're going here.

  dang is one of the mods. This comment is the equivalent of telling the cop who pulled you over for speeding that if you were speeding then he must have been too when he pulled you over.

    Technically true. They do worse than that, in some cases.

    Not so. It would be the equivalent of a cop pulling you over in an unmarked vehicle and without identifying himself as a police officer.

  I'm a moderator here; sorry that wasn't clear. It's true that moderation comments are off topic, but we don't know a better way to manage this site. In case you're not aware, the site guidelines underlying HN moderation are at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. It's good to review them periodically.

    You should identify yourself if you're going to act in the role of a moderator. I think my comment still stands tho: why do you choose to moderate my comment with a swipe but not the original parent comment?
