Unclear from your comment who the target audience was, but to me it would be equally inflammatory regardless. The non-tech-savvy users are a way bigger and more vulnerable target than just the HN userbase which is a microscopic minority on global level.

- LMYahooTFY 3y agoEqually inflammatory to tell people who should know better that they'll keep getting what they deserve? How is it unclear who the audience is on HN? Encouraging those who can to do is also a component of grassroots change. I don't think it took much charity to interpret their comment as being directed toward HN, and only a little more to imagine how pushing tech people to use/develop/polish ad blocking tools can result in the spread of such things. Seems like you're working hard to be upset.
