It is not even a matter of disagreeing with the proposal. If we take all of the numbers in the hyperloop whitepaper at face value—and I want to be clear that all of the numbers in that whitepaper are bullshit—even on those terms it doesn't solve a problem that anyone faces. Hyperloop under its own assumptions has a fraction of the transportation capacity of a railroad.

Again, that is perfectly fine and someone putting an idea out there that doesn't work should not result in attacks and name calling. It's just petty high school garbage that doesn't help anything, and in fact hinders future discussions about important topics.
