I'm not arguing the comment was uncivil, I'm pointing out the irony that a comment was deemed politically incorrect on a story about the problems of political correctness.

I get the HN crowd thinks very highly of itself, but that doesn't change the irony of these comments!

The idea that anybody here would moderate HN for "political correctness" is Martian to me. Only someone who doesn't know us could imagine that.

There is no "HN crowd"; that's just a rhetorical construct people use to implicitly place themselves above others. Since you're commenting here, you're a part of HN as much as anyone else is.
