What you call "tone policing" I call "violating numerous HN guidelines":
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names.
> Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work.
