And I hope that I would get fired for a little rare, light-hearted humor as I wouldn't want to work there anyways. Chill out, winston.

> Chill out, winston

Please don't do this here. This comment would be fine with just the first sentence.

"Chill out, winston"

It's a British expression made popular by a movie. He is not calling out the guy by his first name.

Yes, I know. But telling someone to "chill out" is a jab and superfluous.

People do this kind of thing in online comments all the time, to make the other person look bad and rub in a little extra insult. Any one comment isn't much, of course, but they compound into a degraded discourse, and all of it goes against the civility we try to practice here.

Fair enough. I didn't want you to think he was doxing someone.

Ah, I see. Probably should've left Winston out of this :)
