Your logic makes no sense.

Geez, I didn't know I just as capable of hurting people. I learned some new on HN. Of course even the dumbest person in the world know this.

What matters is that those comments were hurting someone who was only looking for help. There is a big difference between someone who responds to comments and someone who attacking someone's call for help.

"Do you know if the person you just blamed and insulted is stable and can handle it?"

If you know someone is asking for help, why would you berate them. Please get a clue and increase your social IQ.

"The big take away here is that words matter and maybe if you don't have all 'the facts available' you can give someone the benefit of of the doubt. Or the next time you feel like making a 'meh' post, just say nothing at all"

Couldn't have said it better.

Why don't you "man up" and acknowledge, the comment was not only very distasteful, but extremely vitriolic and damaging for someone who was asking for help.

He was asking for help, is this the type of rude comment you make when someone ask for it.

Severity wasn't conveyed, what does everything have to be explicitly spelled out for you in order to understand.

"Aaron should man up, take responsibility for his actions, and pay his own bills."

~Ed

Sounds like Ed was a bit harsh on someone who was going through allot of trouble. The comment was excessively cruel. Not to mention it was the top comment, which must of added large dosage of salt on an already wounded soul.

So he(Ed) rightfully deserves any criticism thrown at him.

It's such a tool bag comment, Ed should apologize. Your defending such a vitriolic comment, sorry but you sound like scum.

Ed Weissman should "man up"... and apologize.
