It was a glib little quip, as you mentioned. That was the entertaining part.

Edit: I’ve just noticed a particularly vile and undeserved comment in reply to you, and to some extent feel responsibility, as it’s part of a comment chain I created. I hope the mods will take action and ban whoever made this comment, although by the looks it’s a burner account. It’s quite jarring to see something like that on HN.

Use the flag feature. If enough people flag it the comment disappears. That's what I did, downvote and flag all comments that don't meet the guidelines for participating in HN.

All good. It seems to be gone now, since I can’t see it.
