You've got a point because that comment was edited (I know, not just because of the note the OP has used but because I also replied to it prior to the edit). However, you're not going to get far if you put it like that. My advice, as a former shadowbanned hothead, would be to give dang an email and apologise, and point out calmly that you were responding to a comment that was later edited, and that'll you'll try to be less openly aggressive when posting in future. Dang probably appreciates nice emails like that. Snark is supposedly discouraged on HN but I guess it's hard to police, you might move on to that ;-)
