Would this be the wrong time to bring up the HN guidelines? (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)
Calling someone else's argument asinine seems to be exactly what the guidelines specifically ask not to do. eg:
"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3.""
