Your lazy comment is in bad faith.

  The top-rated comment on this article, describing how obviously farmers aren't really committing suicide because a survey was bad, that's in bad faith.

    Perhaps, but please don't respond to bad comments with more bad comments. That only makes this place worse. The site guidelines point another way: Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. Maybe you don't owe another commenter better, but you owe this community better. And if you know some truth that others don't know, you owe the truth better, too: to help people understand it instead of discrediting it and giving them a reason to dismiss it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
