Do you think this is a civil way to respond to a point? Would you like me to talk to you like this in real life? How would you feel if I did? Or how might you expect me to react to you if you spoke to me that way?

I used to hold HN to a higher standard than say YT comments, and I hate to say it but yeah it's really not what it was.

I'll reply to the actual point to the more civil commenter above.
