What makes you qualified to make such an expansive claim about a stranger's inner character?

  Like most people, my activity on HN is hit and miss, but as a general rule I am careful about using the word 'you': if I agree with someone or want to encourage them, I favor using 'you', but if I disagree with, or dislike, a comment, I avoid 'you' and stick to the content. It tends to keep things cordial and upbeat. I don't insist that everyone else follow this rule, but I've gotten good mileage from it and others might find it useful; it's also why I have a bad feeling about answering this comment directly.

    You seem to enjoy placing yourself above others. First by doing a character assassination of the Rumble guy, then by taking a superior attitude with me and lecturing me.

      You have an instinct to defend people, which, regardless of our disagreement, I admire.
