- 0ct4via 4y agoI'm aware it is a colloquialism -- could you at least try not being so condescending? You're absolutely being disingenuous, and the comment was derogatory and inappropriate regardless of how colloquial you may choose to see it as.
- engineer_22 4y agoIs there no room for levity?
- 0ct4via 4y agoIs there no room for referring to trans children with a modicum of respect? "Sick puppies" is condescension and mockery, not levity -- but as you continue to not engage in good faith, it seems you're clearly aware of that. The fact that you are unwilling or unable to engage with serious discussions with even basic respect shows how disingenuous you are. So no, when it comes to children's lives, there is no "levity" when it comes to referring to them as "sick puppies." Grow up.

- dang 4y agoPlease don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes everything worse. You posted over 40 comments in this flamewar and repeatedly broke the site guidelines. That's way over the top, and not at all ok. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
- engineer_22 4y agoI didn't mean to offend you. Clearly we cannot continue our discussion, as we've strayed far from anything interesting. Good bye.
