You can't post like this to HN, regardless of how right you are or feel you are, or how wrong others are or you feel they are. This is exactly the sort of comment that my pinned comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38573652) is asking users not to post to this thread (or indeed any thread).

We have to ban accounts that keep posting like this, so please don't do it again.

(Needless to say, this goes for both sides of the conflict, not just one.)

Would sourcing every single point in my sarcastic comment help? Or should I just not use sarcasm?

I'm never quite clear on what the word "sarcasm" means but I think the answer to your question is yes, you should just not use it - at least not in an aggressively-argumentative way. The guidelines try to cover this with rules like "Be kind. Don't be snarky." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).
