It's not ok to attack someone else like this regardless of how wrong they are. We ban accounts that do it, so please don't do it again.

Instead, read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow this simple heuristic: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do.

Apologies I'll simply report next time.

Moderation guidelines on 'Depression' posts here are consistent and progressive[0].

Other disorders are filled with comments that routinely disgrace medical research. I'd still like to see these threads as impartial as Depression.

Looking around this post, you addressed most of the issues, so I appreciate that.
