I should have posted this earlier, but it's probably still worth saying: this comment broke the site guidelines egregiously, and you started a wretched flamewar with it. That's seriously not ok.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it. Note these ones—you broke all of them here:

"Don't be snarky."

"Eschew flamebait."

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

OK, I concede that the comment might have not been particularly articulate or thoughtful, and I will refrain from similar snark in the future. I do not however think it resulted in a wretched flamewar as the replies were, for the most part, respectful, substantiative and not particularly acrimonious. The one-sideness of the upvotes indicates what I posted was not particularly controversial as well.
