At least my original comment started from a point of reference. There's nothing in theshrike79's response that is of any value to improving the conversation, so why should they not be called out for it? Isn't that a part of HN's approach? I've been called out for it (rightfully) many times.

The fact that you don't think I realize what I did is also rather entertaining. Thanks for mansplaining, though! I was lost until you saved me.
