I don't think this comment section is supposed to be a competition. Neither do I think the article was a sneer towards others, but a way to ask for empathy for a certain situation. It wasn't about you, and you don't need to make it about you.

I didn't make it about me at any point - is there an underline function I can use to make that clear for those who like to read into things that were never written?

Or perhaps you can quote where I made it about me, here's the link to my comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30885603

And this is the comment in its entirety, just pick it out for me:

> > But as the myths are so firmly embedded into popular (mis)understanding, I don’t have the luxury to skip over them, so it is just a sad reality that I have to waste even more of my time to bring many of you up to speed.

> As the quote shows, the article is full of sneering, it’s just a sad fact that I have to waste my time pointing it out to you.

> Apologies for that but I think directing her words towards you exposes the sneer without any doubt.

Good luck.
