Which guideline do you believe I did not follow? (I hope you write back face to face, because I would tell him the same thing in person and then some, and enjoy every microsecond of it.)

The comment was uncivil and snarky.

Regardless of your temperament, can you please not be abrasive/aggressive on HN? It encourages worse from others and leads to a toilet-whirlpool effect.

The person in question is one of the authors of "logdevice", which is relevant to that person's reaction: instead of saying "we didn't know about sbin, we'll fix that" it seems it was easier to just write a tractate trying to teach me, multiple decades older than them manners. What was aggressive?
