I think it’s pretty obvious that I did not create that account to break the site guidelines, but as an attempt to constructively engage with c0nduktr.

He didn’t like what I had to say, and chose to attack my account instead. While I might have been a little harsh in my reply to that, I said nothing that wasn’t perfectly in line with his comments.

It’s not unfair to call him an ideologue, he admits to hating the advertising industry https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30916159

Given the nature of his other comments under this post, and his choice to attack me over the age of my account it was certainly not unfair to point out his disinterest in engaging in a thoughtful conversation.

Everyone always feels that the other person started it and did worse. Those perceptions aren't reliable, and they're a recipe for a downward spiral.
