Those comments are all now dead or nearly so and I wouldn't have even seen them if your comment weren't calling attention to them. Please don't do that. Just downvote or flag them and trust others to do the same. Otherwise we end up having another discussion about HN instead of about the submission.

Please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

Just go look at any HN submission of any remotely controversial figure and you'll find terrible comments. It isn't new.
- stephen 7y agoFair! Thanks for the reminder. You're right; I was very early into this thread, when those comments were still at the top. And also the mobile app I use doesn't have a down vote button, so my "I want to react" urge had to go through a new comment instead of the voting itself. I'll flip over to chrome and down vote there next time.
