Why doesn't the person im supposed to empathise with instead empathise with his opponent and not throw a tantrum?

That'd be ideal, but you only control yourself. Empathisizing with someone doesn't mean you have to agree with them. It just means you don't need to call them out on it months later on a random HN thread when they've come around with a nice result. Maybe it'd be relevant if this article was about another argument with event moderators

That’s a reason for the sympathy.
