My point was that your comment was a low effort personal attack and contributed nothing. As well as itself being ironic.

The HN guidelines explicitly say one should avoid such comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Your point wasn’t subtle - just wrong.

The comment I replied to did nothing but detract from the conversation,

and attack the original commenter’s sense and logic - despite the original commenter being correct!

> That seems like a stretch. That wouldn't even make sense for them to do. Strange claim to make.

Not a stretch.

Makes perfect sense.

Not strange, unusual, or uncommon!

& a quick search would have shown them the blind spot

Maybe it was a blind spot for you, too - based on your responses.

(^THAT’S what getting personal and off-topic looks like)

Link the guidelines to the commenter I replied to, instead of users following them.
