The criticism and correction were polite, helpful, and appropriate.

The original comment is misleading. Your reply is bizarre, and seems to deliberately misread the original comment, the reply, and the context.

The criticism was both impolite and against HN rules.

The reply was reiterating HN rules, as well as adding data supporting the original statement.

By pointing out that it is true using a reference?

> the reply

The reply misunderstood the first comment and went on to discuss something a)interesting but b) not germane to whether melanoma is the skin cancer with the highest sun exposure risk.

I have no idea what you mean by context as this small discussion is quite self-contained. Think of this as making sure everyone realizes two homophones actually are distinct words.
