Amazing your comment is top—given you didn't read the article.

> The man deserved what he got

From what I've seen (I'm no expert on the subject), that's debatable.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12173610 and marked it off-topic.

I noted that I didn't read that section, apologized to the first person to point it out, and edited my comment to reflect it. The rest of my points stand quite well on their own and have nothing to do with Milo except as an example.

Wait, missing one mention equates to not reading the entire article? Amazing indeed.

"Milo" appears nine times in the article. The discussion about him is a large part of the content.

To be fair, the points about that person were almost near the end after heavy points about the product, it "felt" like conclusion territory which I often skip if I've gotten the point already, and to be honest, I about ran out of steam by that point too. Is it so crazy to imagine that someone reads an article that makes its point quite clearly even before the conclusion, and comments upon it after reading solely its meat? Hell, I almost closed the article once I saw that person's name, even.

A lot of people here just are snapping to criticize over this, which is oddly reminiscent of a subtext of the article, not doing this comment section any favors, and specifically discussed in the HN guidelines.

Now that I've made a substantive comment: who cares, seriously?
