> people on this forum snicker at me

I hope you just mean that metaphorically, but if it's actually happening, please let us know so we can scold them. Putting others down that pettily is a breach of civility.

I've seen what the OP describes on HN many times in discussions of engineer salaries. It's usually not really a personal snickering as much as a stern warning that the person is "being taken advantage of" and they should leave immediately.

I see it all the time, but don't have any examples specifically bookmarked.

I think he just didn't get the right words dang. No one is snickering at him for $65k. Probably the opposite. I, a relatively selfish person, get upset when I see a person being taken advantage of.

Sorry to nitpick, but I remembered from this previous comment that Kluny is a woman: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16425273, and it feels bad to leave that without mention.
