The comment is not consistent with the "In Comments" criteria of the Show HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

To me, this post is not consistent with the guidelines either.

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with.

> Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.

I consider this a "sign-up" page.

Be that as it may, it does not change the guidelines for comments.

There is the flagging mechanism for inappropriate submissions.

The sitewide guidelines begin with 'Be civil.'
