First, please don't be an asshole and/or be snarky on HN. We don't want that here. (See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.)

Second, "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." (also in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

Third, punishing users for discussing something work-related is one of the worst things you can do to damage this place. We want knowledgeable comments, and for most people, our work is what we know the most about. Disincentivizing that is a losing proposition (https://hn.algolia.com/?query=disincent%20by:dang&dateRange=...) so please don't.
