This is in violation of HN guideline: "Don't be snarky" [1]

- clubm8 8y agoI disagree. Do you have any specific feedback on the content of my post, rather than the tone?
- InitialLastName 8y agoGP is citing to you an actual HN guideline that specifically refers to the tone of your post. If it helps, here's the guideline in full: > Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. > Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. In your case, you accused your parent poster of not thinking critically, instead of constructively saying "hey, here's a nuance of this issue that you may be missing".
- clubm8 8y agoSorry you feel that way. We've now twice addressed this issue, concerns have been noted. Unfortunately I lack the ability to edit or delete the post, so I assure your concerns are noted and consider the matter closed.
