Hacker News Reader

I read through the guidelines and couldn't find any rules it was breaking. What guidelines do you believe are broken by the top comment?

It's breaking "don't be snarky" at the very least, although that rule is barely ever enforced

>Don't be snarky.

>Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents.

>Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle.

Calling this "flamebait" or "ideological battle" is pretty over-the-top.

Because it's entirely one sided and anyone that was to challenge it knows their comments aren't welcome.
