I'm so sick of people like you on HN. Open the link, look for a tiny snippet of text which looks like it's contrary to what the submitter's point is, and then bash them in the comments.

Davidmp must have edited his comment, because your comment is far worse than his--you make a personal attack against him and provide a citation that is just as selective as his.

"Personal attack", as you put it, would be worse only if it was ad hominem, which it wasn't.

As you can see, davidmp's comment claims that "You can link with text as much as you want." The "selective" quote by tylermenezes is the smallest quote sufficient to prove false davidmp's claim.

By reading other comments, you can also see that several other readers called davidmp out on the exact same behavior as tylermenezes did and used more or less the same quote.
