> I live ok without pattern matching and I build compilers/runtimes for a living; is that blub conceit?

No, I would have quoted it the first time if it was. But if you want to repeat that again you will certainly sound conceited.

OK, I have no idea what point you are trying to make then. Please forgive my ignorance on your social conventions.

The point was simply that what you wrote is how a very bad argument starts. I took care to point out I wasn't accusing you of that but you have reacted defensively anyway.

It's my fault for trying to engage an HN-er in a form of discourse other than debate.

If its a meta comment, just say so directly. It is a bit difficult to decode these comments sometimes, especially when defending OOP.
