The accusation of being "tone deaf" is one of those "it doesn't matter if you're technically right - you're arguing for the wrong team" comments.

I accept the consequences of my behavior (as my comments arguably violate HN guidelines), and am open to learning more about the FB’s behavior, from good faith commenters on both sides.
