All sorts of things push people over the edge to finally make an account :). While it's true that his comment doesn't add much to the discourse, there probably are lots of folks that never realized that it's referring to a hare.

Your comment though is approximately an attack on a person who finally took the time to create an account only to get downvoted. A downvote is discouragement enough; no need to reiterate.

To be honest, if not for this comment, I would have learned something wrong today.

PS - English isn't my first language.

It's "thought-provoking", not "thought-prevoking".
