What the heck made you throw such a condescending accusation? I can really find nothing in the OP's comment that would justify such a reaction..

they might as well have posted on an article about growing up homeless living in a tent to talk about how they loved to sleep in tents, all the time, on the weekends when they were camping as a kid, much fun!

Please don't make things worse like this, even if your comment got a provocative and uncharitable reply.

uh-huh, yeah bet you probably had a good karate teacher your parents paid for.

Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and flamebait comments to HN? You've been doing it a lot, unfortunately, and we ban that sort of account. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

Why is violence your response to rudeness?

It has been, and it has served me well. You'd be surprised at how quickly abusive people shut up after a smack.

Do you live in a jurisdiction where you don't have to worry about assault charges?

If you have kids I hope you don't raise them that way (or think that violence is an acceptable approach there).

Please don't cross into personal attack in HN threads.
