Might be a religion thing.

Wait, if someone has 4 children, it's because of religion? That's possibly the stupidest comment I've ever seen on HN, and I've seen a lot.

[CmonDev]

I was trying to guess the reason behind the decision to raise 4 kids in poverty.

Wow this thread is grumpy.

[wyclif]

Not grumpy—the grandparent was being a total ass.

[DanBC]

And you know that you either flag, or downvote, or ignore the asses.

(Or some combination.)

You don't write a post to call them idiots, even if they are.

[wyclif]

I've been around here a lot longer than you have. I do know, and I have, but sometimes nastiness needs to be called out.

[DanBC]

Sure, but you know that you shouldn't call put nastiness by being nasty.
