Replacing the word "fucking" with "really" has nothing to do with it. There's no guideline against profanity on HN.
Please read the guidelines and take the spirit of the site more to heart.

The post I was replying to was shallow.
Asking if people have rtfa is also against the guidelines. So its a bit rich to assume I havent read the guidelines.
And no, there isnt a guideline agaisnt profanity but its what bought you to my comment isn't it?

Not really. I was reacting to "cherry picked whataboutism" and the putdown aspect. Both of those remain. In fact that's all the comment consists of.
It doesn't matter what you were replying to.
