This crosses into personal attack, which is not allowed here. It also breaks this guideline: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

Could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow the rules when posting here? We'd be grateful.

Reread the comment you replied to and it’s parent, then decide if shitting all over the comment was still appropriate. Op’s very first sentence admitted how relatively privileged he/she was.

Perhaps this

> you need people, mostly to talk to, but also to depend on and to help in turn

was his point? I think it's a valuable thing to say.

In turn, I'd ask you to please try to be more charitable when reading other people's posts.

Please don't take HN threads further off topic. If you see an egregious comment, flag it, as requested in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. You're also welcome to email [email protected]. Venting about it here doesn't help; we don't see most of the posts. All it does is lower the signal/noise ratio of a thread even further.

The reason I know about this subthread is that another user flagged the GP comment. Had you added a flag of your own it would have killed it as well.

Maybe you should make the flag button visible.
