In my experience providing detailed information in a response in the comment section on this particular topic (game development and networking) in hacker news comments simply creates more surface area for nitpicking and arguing in response, so I keep to short responses and rebuttals.

In the future, I don't feel that writing anything more here on this topic is a worthwhile use of my time.

Yes yes, everybody should be the Dalai Lama. But I'm not.

You're just being asked not to be a jerk to people on a messageboard. It's the same thing being asked of everyone else so that we can have a decent messageboard and it's not difficult.
