I used “regular” because the author used the word “regular” to imply that any regular would agree with him. I wanted to state that I am a regular and I disagree.
I used the word “imply” above, because in the text the author only explicitly says that a regular would see that there are toxic comments some times. But my impression, from the that and other remarks on the text, is that they are implying that a regular would agree that HN is toxic. Like they are trying to expose a consensus. So I wanted to push back and state that there is no such consensus.
And the “disagree completely” is explained in another comment.
