Straw man.

At no point does the parent advocate for smalltalk on HN or stamping out contrary opinion en bloc. The point is purely about behaviour, respect and being considerate of others.

That's like saying:

"I only claimed that 5 = 2 + 2, I never said anything about it being 4!"

Isn't that the conclusion to draw from HN being described as a cocktail party?
