Your GP comment was just fine, but where you went with this one and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27573815 is not cool. Please don't lash out like that in HN comments. When unfairly downvoted, remember that corrective upvotes are a thing (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...) and misclicks are also a thing, and please just move on.

Complaints like this, besides being tedious and breaking the site guidelines, usually also end by being uncollected off-topic garbage when the original comment gets corrective upvotes, as yours has.

Great points. Thank you for taking the time to correct.

That's not appropriate, as pg made clear back at the beginning:

Empty comments can be ok if they're positive. There's nothing wrong with submitting a comment saying just "Thanks." What we especially discourage are comments that are empty and negative—comments that are mere name-calling.
