It's unclear why you've chosen to respond to my comment about my personal situation (which I'm not hiding at all), but I suspect you're trying to conflate something about my credibility with my argument. If that's the case, please stop. In fact, I'd rather you not bring up off topic issues in response to my comment.

We likely have orthogonal life experiences, and I'm simply trying to share my experiences and views. I'd like to stay on topic in doing so for a particular comment. Thanks.

Sorry that I came off that way.

I don't agree with your argument, but I think that disagreement is really entirely unimportant compared to your personal challenges. You're entitled to your views.

HN doesn't have a mechanism for private messages, or I would have addressed you that way.

To the extent that I would want any public effect from my comment being here it would only be to remind other people that you're a human being and should be treated with a modicum of kindness. ... unlike that rude commenters who called you a FBI shill. :)
