Just a note, I did not find it any more rude than other comments that get a free pass. Commenting that more familiarity with the literature is necessary can be a very factual claim.
- dang 8y agoIt was an obvious violation of HN's rules. If you see other comments that violate the rules going unmoderated, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see them; we don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted. In that case the thing to do is to flag the comment (described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). In egregious cases, you can email hn@ycombinator.com as well.
