OK, and what about those who tell me that I'm off topic when I'm not? Or those who don't look at my wider point and accuse me of bad faith comments?

My only comment was that my score was going up and down like a yo-yo, and only because I was being accused of making off-topic comments. That's pretty tedious, no? Surely that's against HN guidelines?

There certainly are other tedious things besides that tedious thing, but still, please don't do it, even if provoked.

Being a good HN commenter in the long run means learning to eat provocation, which admittedly sucks, but is true community service.

Fair point :-)
