I know that a detailed personalized response is more helpful, but it's impossible to do that in every case because it's so time consuming. I could spend all waking hours doing nothing but that and still only cover a fraction of the explanations that people want—even before counting the fact that many explanations generate further questions that need further explanation. So we have to get by with shorthand most of the time.
In your case, I wasn't just responding to one comment but to your pattern of commenting; note the word "repeatedly" in my post. That's a reference to other comments like these, from the current thread:
Your pattern of commenting includes inflammatory rhetoric, being aggressive to other users, cross-examination, name-calling, political and ideological battle, sneering at the rest of the community, and other things that clearly break the HN guidelines–and that's just with your current account.
It's true that your comment that I replied to (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612748) was one of the lesser cases of this, but it still included inflammatory rhetoric ("and if my mom had balls she's be my dad" adds no information—it's just a putdown, and ditto for "America, Australia, Canada, Europe etc, aren't interchangeable lab cages of guinea pigs", since no one is arguing that they are). But the rest of that comment was just fine. The reason I replied there is not because I thought it was the worst case, but because it was a leaf node in the thread. The issue, as I said, is the pattern of your comments. You're breaking the site guidelines so often that your account is on the line of being one that we would ban, if not over the line.
