Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.
Okay. Hopefully it isn't against the guidelines to say I think that's a silly guideline. Apparently saying "ridiculous" in response to a comment is very selectively enforced, must be my lucky day.
Anyways, this is probably the reminder I needed to stop commenting to HN. Some of the moderator decisions you guys are making lately are just.. way off base to me. Either you've changed or I have. Probably me.
Time to randomize the password. Cheers.
If you had simply posted the last sentence, your comment would have been just fine.
