Someone on Hacker News doesn't understand the emotions of people who aren't him!? Now that's a surprise!
On a thread like this there's always someone who says pretty much these exact words. And then someone else who has to start a comment with "This." because that shows emphatic agreement and has not become in any way trite.
The level of arrogance required to hear/read someone say "what was said hurts me" and then respond with "no it doesn't, you're not hurt" is just stupefying. Yet it happens routinely around here.
