A comment on Silicon Valley needs to stop laying off workers and start firing CEOs. Parent comment

I keep looking at this and the original comment and it saddens me. It took about 2 minutes for WalterBright to type out his original (IMO awful) analogy then disappear from the conversation. This comment however was carefully written and thoughtfully provides a thorough rebuttal of the analogy while also contributing a lot to the discussion raised by the original piece. But it's not going to get the attention it deserves and doesn't look like it'll get a response from Walter :-/

Apologies for adding a slightly empty comment but clicking the little "upvote" button didn't feel like it was enough.

Don’t worry, I am used to it. When the Walters of the world run off, that’s fine, I have people like you to get through to. Thanks for your kind words.

This is just par for the course on HN. Only engage with the weakest responses to your comment. Do not engage with anything providing a decent rebuttal. Makes your thoughts look more solid and the “opposition” look worse as the thread develops.
