My problem is that I read what people write on HN and treat it with the same seriousness and respect I want people to treat my comments, when the majority are only saying whatever comes to their mind just to make some sort of impression. Then when I point out some obvious error, people freak out and get defensive because they never expected anyone to take them seriously, they're just spouting off whatever without really thinking. And then they try to wiggle out of the conversation, just like you're doing right now, pretending that you were misunderstood.

Well, my mistake then for taking you seriously. Many apologies. You can rest assured it won't happen again.
