You should be ashamed of yourself.

I appreciate the intensity of the issue, but personal attacks are not allowed on Hacker News.

Edit: thanks to seertaak below for pointing out that this was trivial compared to what Karunamon was responding to.

I get that it gives the wrong impression to admonish one person while ignoring something much worse. On the other hand, we (and certainly I) can't read all the comments, so there's inevitably some randomness here. I can't promise to get everything right, but I do promise to listen to correcting feedback.

You really should be saying that to bluntly_said -- his/her comments are far more unhinged than Kuranamon.

e.g. "fucking PATHETIC" "yo FUCKHEAD" "FUCK YOU" "...you're a bully. A fucking FUCKHEAD bully"

Two wrongs don't make a right, but "you should be ashamed of yourself" is pretty tame compared to the above.

Ugh. I couldn't agree more. That comment is far worse, and I've banned bluntly_said. Thank you for the heads-up.

We can't read all the comments, and I didn't see that one. Community help is indispensable here.
