I didn't suffer some gun nuts gladly, what can I say. I think I may have committed the offence of calling them aspergic after they were repeatedly and passively aggressively obtuse lol
OK. Without seeing the original thread, that sounds more like breaking the site's code of conduct: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html has "be civil" and "instead of calling names" right at the start of the section about comment threads. I get angry myself sometimes in arguing with someone here, so I can sympathize.
