What’s with the attitude? He said he was wrong and the child comment fixed the issue. No need to castigate him.

Just surprised how people are able to miss this.

SEJeff in particular has been a member since 2012 and has 7500 karma, and somehow never saw a post that looked unreadable because of blockquote, including his own.

I hope your mood improves soon. No one should have to be as bitter as you are right now.

I don't mean this in jest, I really do hope that you find some peace.

Well when I looked at it a bit later, I was unable to edit the original comment. Kind of makes the point moot don't you think?

Of all of the hills to die on, you picked a pretty lousy one. Excuse me for casually browsing HN between doing actual real work. I guess not all of us can do HN fulltime.

Internet comments are usually fire-and-forget.

Especially on HN, which does a poor job of letting you know that someone has replied to your comment.

FWIW, someone made a tool that emails you if your comment gets a reply.

That’s neat, thanks! I usually just refresh once an hour or so.

Can you PLEASE go fuck yourself?

Ouch, please don't post like this to HN. We ban accounts that do it, because we're trying for something different here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Could you please read those guidelines and use HN as intended? We'd be grateful.
