That comment wasn't particularly substantive, and arguably broke this site guideline: "Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Note, though, that it received corrective upvotes and is no longer downvoted. That's common, and is one reason why we ask users not to post like you did here. Such posts are not just off-topic distractions, they stick around as uncollected garbage once the thing they're mentioning no longer exists. This is in the guidelines too, so could you please review them? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
