Pointing out hypocrisy is not against the guidelines. I might well ask you to do the same, as your comment is obviously flame inciting.

I don't you know in real life and you don't know me, so you would be well advised not to cook up imaginary characterizations of me

I told GP the same thing as you (to read the HN guidelines). However, I don’t see any characterization happening in the comment above. What am I missing?

I believe they are referencing the other comment you made:

> When in Rome, do as the Romans do

Which in this context is snarky, not substantive and likely to be flamebait.

your threads seem to be a bit wonky which sounds odd, this is how the conversation structure looks like: https://imgur.com/hNtGMdb
