A comment on Open source projects should run office hours. Parent comment

It is overruled by the "law of the topmost comment" - the top comment is very likely a negative take on some subpart of the topic at hand, sometimes unrelated to the actual article, worded in the strongest way possible.

Everything about your comment is just wrong, so wrong.

The Law of the Topmost Comment says nothing about the relatedness to the OP's article[1]. I would suggest you research the topic further before making any more ill-informed comments on it.

your take on his take is meta-humorous.

If your argument holds, I would expect my agreeable comment of mine to be downvoted or replaced by a comment possibly critical of your viewpoint.

Well...

Although in general, you can't expect replies to other comments and comments on posts to follow the same patterns.
