Did it get more memory efficient during the time between authoring point 1 and authoring the last point?

You may think this was clever, but it is a common literary technique to emphasize a point. I'd suggest less snark, you're not doing yourself any favors.

    This irritates me. What was the point of THEIR comment? To be cunty? It absolutely was NOT a productive comment. They were being an ass. And you’re defending them being an ass, asking me who I am like I’m somehow not allowed to point out someone being a cunt unless I have some type of status symbol of which you need to approve. At this point I can only fathom you’re a coworker or friend of theirs, hence the defense. Nothing else makes sense.

      No idea who the person is who defended what I said. If they're a co-worker of mine, I don't know who it is. The original purpose of my comment was to, in a light-hearted way, point out redundant information, not to incite a flame war about tone on HN. This thread reminds me of why I don't come here very often.
