Not sure what you mean "as I said prior", unless you're annoyed that I hadn't looked into the future to see replies about tone you hadn't written when I posted my comment... But anyway, I wasn't complaining, just pointing out my view (since you asked about being downvoted) that by using that tone, however justified it can feel to lower to somebody else's level, you will get some people who take less note of what you're actually saying or who downvote without thinking about the subject beyond "I dislike seeing that tone in HN comments".
