Taking a substantive discussion in a snarky generic direction is exactly the wrong thing to do on HN. Please don't do it again.
Maybe the comment you were replying to hinted at that (if I squint I can read it that way), but if so, the thing to do is gently turn the discussion back in a neutral direction with a substantive reply, or simply not to reply at all.
