> Ok, so claiming I didn’t read the article is actually against the guidelines, and you’ve done so twice so I’m not particularly in the mood to really entertain it anymore. First off, you are responding to two different posters. Second, neither vbsteven nor jb1991 said you didn't read the article, they pointed out things that were addressed in the article. The phrasing they used is explicitly called out as acceptable in the guidelines: > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
