>Once again: note that the story we're commenting on has nothing to do with violence, nor does the comment that sparked off this subthread about violence.

Sure. Probably I imagined the "Maybe the guy just wanted to be punched in the face?" quote, and the response to that discussing violence, all present before I added my comment on the subject lower in the thread.

Readers, see how you can use your high status on HN, and the fact that people won't particularly check the whole thread, to marginalize and accuse people you don't like of trolling. All the while speaking from a pedestal, with call-outs to "readers" and such shenanigans.

And if they dare respond to set things straight (at least from their perspective), that's more proof that they are indeed trolls.

I stop here, can't win this game, and am 40-something, so I'm not interested in games in the first place.
