I might forgive you for being an asshole if you were particularly witty about it, but you're not. You're sniping for no reason.

I'm poking a little fun at these types of threads because let's face it, they have nothing to do with this site. And anyone who needs a Hacker News post to remind them when Fathers Day is and what its purpose is... is clearly missing the point of Fathers Day.

Bottom line, I'm kidding around. You can give me the benefit of the doubt of making a little joke with no ill-intent... or you can call me an asshole. I'll leave it up to you to decide which is worse.

Heh. I called you an asshole in regard to your second post, not that original one. I actually agree with its intent: These posts are rather silly. But snarking about it wasn't the right thing to do, IMHO.
