> concern trolling and exaggerating

I wish you would save that for Reddit (or anywhere else). I like HN because trolls are downvoted and exaggeration isn't tolerated much -- even to the point that harmless jokes are downvoted into oblivion. It's not that those things are unacceptable, but rather that a lot of us come to HN for the serious, genuine discussion that is hard to find elsewhere.

Also don't troll and exaggerate if you don't want anyone to respond with a counterpoint. Isn't trolling about getting a response?

> I replied with my perspective. I'm sure she'd love to hear yours instead of hearing you try to tear mine down to fit your world view.

If you don't want anyone to respond to your comments, don't post them somewhere that discussion is encouraged.

> Looking forward to your top level post direct to her.

I agree with her and don't have anything to add to her article. If that weren't the case, I would have posted a top-level comment. Don't tell me where my opinions do/don't belong on an open forum.

I'm not. You're passive aggressively implying that I'm doing that instead of saying it directly. It's not appreciated, but I tried to bury the hatchet and let you have your say. You'd rather tear down others than share your own experience. You have admitted that you have nothing to contribute other than argue with me. Thanks. I hope it made you feel like a bigger man.
