If you're talking about this (now flagged) thread[0] I don't see anything in the replies to your comments that I would consider "deranged." I just see the typical HN back and forth, and honestly neither side is backing up their arguments. HN certainly does have deranged comments but this isn't it. This is tepid as arguments go, and typical.

I agree your comments shouldn't have been flagged but unfortunately that sort of thing happens all the time around here. When people disagree with you and downvotes aren't enough they'll just start flagging. I don't think that's a "high karma" thing, people will start to do that as soon as they're able, which doesn't take much karma.

And, I mean, only one of the people who replied to you even has more karma than you do. So really you're just complaining about one person and conflating that into some vast systemic issue with "high karma users."

Get over it and move on. I'll get absolutely shat on by people here sometimes and have forgotten about it entirely after an hour. Nothing that happens here is worth getting triggered for over a week.

Are you perhaps confused?

The timestamp clearly says “12 days ago”?

Which matches my recollection of how many days ago it was.

I obviously could not be triggered 12 days after the fact…

And it’s just one example I chose because it was recently in my memory?

I don’t think I implied this was the most representative possible example.

>I obviously could not be triggered 12 days after the fact…

That isn't obvious, given that you came back 12 days later with what seems to be a full blown conspiracy theory about a single interaction with a single poster.

>And it’s just one example I chose because it was recently in my memory?

So you are still triggered by it.

>I don’t think I implied this was the most representative possible example.

I can only reply to the comment you actually wrote, and the comment you actually wrote, which you did intend to be a representative example, doesn't do a good job of supporting your case. Feel free to post your evidence, then, I suspect it will just be more of the same.

I stand by my comment and I'm leaving the thread. Good night.

Are you unhinged?

This makes no sense at all… how does choosing the only example I remember within the past month…lead to a “conspiracy theory” in your mind?

That frankly says a lot more about what’s going on in your mind than anyone else’s.

If you are suffering some kind of mental health crisis, I recommend getting off the computer and seeking professional help.
