This violates the HN guidelines against insinuating astroturfing and calling names in arguments. Please read them and follow them when posting here.

and yet the other response is exactly what that post described.

If people are discussing in good faith, why aren't they willing to do it on an account that matters to them?

I'm not sure I follow you, but it doesn't sound related to the issue of needing to follow the site guidelines when posting here, regardless of what someone else is 'spouting'. We're all spouting something.
It’s against the rules to accuse the other participants of being bots or shills. Please address the argument, not the person.
