Shaming people for their comment history isn't a good look.

I think my point has been lost and it's tough to transmit tone-of-voice in a comment on a website. My failings. The comment wasn't about shaming him, it was parodying the lazy "I'm just saying" rhetorical technique of casting aspersions on something.

Onward through the fog.

The problem is even if I believe this statement (which I don't), the proposed solutions are government power grabs and wealth redistribution.

You have nothing of value to add to this conversation so you dig into the parent's post history and shame the parent to discredit. Disgusting.

If clicking two links to see what someone wrote in public on this very site is a problem -- jeez. I don't know what to say. I do it all the time when I read a comment that's really insightful or when I see something silly or off-kilter and am just curious. It's not like I dug up his credit score.
