I don't think that's what cross-examine means there.

Though I'm surprised you're citing the guidelines after writing the comment I referred to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47093780

I'm not trying to backseat mod here but do you really think that comment is okay?

I'm not attacking individuals.

Not knowing exactly who you're attacking doesn't make the attack okay.

I'm going to keep hoping you said that out of anger rather than actually meaning it. It's a completely unreasonable inference to make about people.

I hope you don't actually believe that flamebait self-aggrandizing nonsense.

So, that line was snarky. But my last few comments have been far from flaming, and I'm not going for a cheap putdown. You made some very harsh judgements about people based on a tiny interaction. That's bad for discussion in a whole bunch of ways.

And I guess that's about all I can say, and as clear as I can make it.
