I did not call you any name (unless you count "reader"), nor was I attacking you. I was merely sarcastically expressing my frustration at a trend I've observed on HN in which the top comment on an article which I highly enjoyed is almost invariably someone disagreeing outright, often without having read the entire post. If you read half of that behemoth of an article, good for you - you can't be accused of not giving it a fair chance (although I found that second half to be more interesting and insightful myself). I just find it aggravating and perhaps indicative of a negative attitude amongst HN readers that contrarian comments almost always end up at the top of the thread. That is all. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
