There's no "not in the case" on HN, though. People can figure out the quality of a comment themselves, perhaps helped along by a comment that disputes what the first comment says. But the idea you're doing everyone some service by trashing the place is misplaced, it's just not how things work.

If you cannot make your point clear politely you also cannot force it into people. It just look terrible for everyone reading the conversation. I actually agree with the direction your argument but can't agree with the form. And also unfortunately if you position was the opposite, the moderation would be less severe, but it is what it is. This is an US American forum after all.
