I don't have a feature to flag your comments and your profile does not point to a way for me to message you privately so this was my only option to call you out

What you call "tone policing" I call "violating numerous HN guidelines":

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names.

> Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work.

It's not your job to call out anyone on HN, and it adds precious little to the conversation.

You may not personally agree with it, but there's nothing in the HN guidelines or comments from mods saying that I can't do it

> it adds precious little to the conversation

The conversations would have ended a long time ago if you're vitriolic tone was considered acceptable and normal
