I didn't even notice until later, the final word of that comment. WTF indeed. This is absolutely not okay on HN, and we have to ban accounts that do it repeatedly.
The guidelines have been in place since soon after HN started, and have always been clear that kindness and curious conversation are what we're aiming for here.
In the case of this comment "wtf are you talking about?" may be at the milder end of the spectrum of abuse, "moron" certainly isn't.
Please don't comment like this on HN. The guidelines ask us to be kind and constructive when engaging in discussions here.
