>Your comment is exactly the attitude the person you were replying to was mocking.

What is being mocked is the attitude we should care for people? Think about that for a second.

>What that person saying is that a lot of reasonably intelligent people who are nowhere near geniuses like to think of themselves as geniuses as a form of narcissistic self-flattery.

Yet the parent comment didn't have that in it. How can the grandparent be mocking the parent if the grandparent is mocking those who chime in 'me too' while the parent doesn't do that?

The comment mocking the article and mocking HNers that have experienced it just proves the premise of the article.

And the article was about a minority population of vulnerable, at-risk children, some of whom go on to commit suicide.

And the top HN comment was mocking. Think about that for a second.

There are a lot of people that hate the gifted, just because of the way they were born. They relish the opportunity to take them down a notch.
