Parent poster didn't call you (as a person) lazy. They called the wording you chose as lazy. FWIW, I agree with that characterization. It's lazy to just call people "problematic" without bothering to specify what is problematic about them (which you have since done in a subsequent post).

- YeGoblynQueenne 5y agoOP is not the HN police, but every HN user is an HN moderator. It doesn't say so anywhere, but in practice that's what the up/downvote controls and flag links do. Or did you really believe dang is the only HN moderator? :)
- baobabKoodaa 5y agoI didn't flag or downvote the post. I just asked for some civility. If you feel like it doesn't add to the discussion, that's your opinion and you are free to express it. (And I didn't downvote you either.)
