Generic has to do with categories, not quantity. But this was not a borderline call—it's the kind of comment the guidelines are trying to persuade, cajole, and/or coax you into not posting here!

Not that you owe the rich and powerful better, necessarily, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

Purely because I didn't see it. It's flagkilled now.

We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted to HN—there's far too much. When you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, that's the likeliest explanation. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at [e-mail].

Fair enough. Thank you for your work, I know it can be quite demanding to deal with people like this all the time.
