Not offending me - I'm just letting you know that you're breaking the rules and if you keep doing that we will ban you.

Telling someone that by following your instructions they can become "more useful than a tin can" and "might actually learn something", and that they haven't given "figuring it out themselves a try", is for sure over the line into personal attack.

Moreover, if we take all those swipes out of your GP comment, there's literally nothing left! That's definitely not what we want on this site, as should surely be clear from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You are seeing "swipes" where there simply are none. You certainly are reading more into my original comment than there was.

		Of course interpretations can differ about any language, but this was not anywhere near a borderline call, in terms of the standards we apply here. If you prefer a different word than 'swipe' I'm happy to do that, but either way we need you not to post any more comments of that sort.
