Google Takes on Uber with New Ride-Share Service

You can't comment like this on HN. We ban accounts that do so. Fortunately you've posted other comments that are fine for HN, so I'll read this thread as the sort of derailing that happens to most of us from time to time.

Comments on HN need to be civil and substantive. Heated rhetoric is neither, and personal attacks are right out. When you're hot under the collar, please cool down before posting.

I shared my opinion, and was attacked for having that opinion. You, or he, may choose to disagree with that opinion, but calling me a prick is bound to insight a response.

I don't normally make posts like that, but I'm also not normally attacked.

Ok, but you still can't respond like that. The rules apply regardless of whether someone else started it or was behaving worse. Otherwise everyone would have an excuse for everything, since it always feels like someone else started it.

Understood, I'll refrain from responding in that way in the future. In retrospect, I do realize that I shouldn't have said anything.

Thanks for understanding. Believe me, we know what the frustration feels like. The internet, including HN, is crazymaking sometimes.
