It should be acceptable to criticize rich, powerful people in unemotional terms, but I wasn't even doing that. I was summarizing the other comments on this thread.
Here are examples of comments (that remain visible) that I was summarizing:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43526888 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43526888

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43515723 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43515723
In the future I can be more careful to say something like, "Based on the comments here, people are saying that he..." but I thought that was implied in my comment already.
