The fact that you looked at it wasn't what I was commenting on... It was the fact that you brought it up as a way of deriding the commenter's point and their person. You (childishly? bitterly?) searched the web for the person's username, looking for something to latch on to, simply because they insinuated that you had an uncanny hankering for MS products. Rather than escalate the situation, why not point them to your profile and tell them that you don't work there, but do agree with what they are currently doing with their products?
EDIT: I probably won't respond any more after this regardless of what is posted. Derailing the thread further than I have is pointless.
- diminoten 12y agoI did do that (point to my profile, which demonstrates I don't work at Microsoft) with my comment, albeit in an implied manner. I think you're reading too much into my comment. I don't think you're giving me the a charitable reading of my comment, which is against HN's spirit. Furthermore, comment threads are for everyone, and not just the people participating. Letting us know whether or not you're going to respond is very "you"-centric, and yet again doesn't really fit with the "spirit" of HN. Maybe in the future you examine your glass house before throwing stones.
- anonbanker 12y agoYeah, all credibility you may have was lost with this post.
- diminoten 12y agoI prefer a strong argument to credibility.
- anonbanker 12y agoA shame neither was brought to the table, eh?
- diminoten 12y agoI brought a strong argument. That's why you're devolving into name-calling.
- anonbanker 12y agoFeel free to let me know what name I called you.

- diminoten 12y agoYou called me non-credible. And these terse, off-topic replies are further evidence of your lack of a leg to stand on. You haven't contributed one whit to this conversation. Be topical or get ignored.
- anonbanker 12y agofeel free to show me that "strong argument" as well. I'm sure you're credible in something. Alas, your credibility in this matter has been compromised by your words.
