I mean they were factually correct but that doesn't take away from the extremely toxic way they interact with the community. I think the comment deserves to be downvoted (although that doesn't change the overall point that accurate information wasn't bubbling up). This is their bio: "HN was created as an example of how to foment Dunning-Kruger among a community. Nowhere else will you find such a wonderful collection of imaginary "experts". Today's outrage -- someone who is clearly wrong about how refunds on the App Store work, yet the overwhelming majority of HN are too profoundly stupid/ignorant/myopic to see the error and just run with it. Top of the front page, thousands of comments...original guy retracts it. Hours later the story is still here and still getting comments from the idiot base. I'd be embarrassed to be herding this collection of dumbshits." That sort of approach to talking with HN is going to be downvoted. And I would argue deservedly so.
