You've managed to break the first two rules in the commenting guidelines [1]; it seems you're in no position to advise anyone on appropriate commenting on HN. Profanity, insults, and personal attacks simply don't belong here. Aside from your childish outbursts, we've had a productive conversation in this thread.

- chillingeffect 12y agoWhere the rule says "Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation," you imagine I would not use profanity in a face-to-face conversation. I will gleefully reiterate everything I've said here in a face-to-face conversation. I note that you have changed your tune toward the author ("I probably should have started out my initial comment by saying thanks") suggesting you're learning submitters' feelings outrank commenters'. There is hope for you yet.
