Absolutely not. But I have a right to point out where an article does a lot of handwaving & is plainly shallow.

Neither am I. Thats the best thing about being on HN. People are very passionate about the wave of information & its quality. Also if the SNR of articles weren't high (& it was just another Medium-types) you & I won't be discussing its merits here. Thankfully HN posts manage to attract the curious minds.

I am not, by any means. @dang does that - and very effectively. My job is to express views constructively & debate with facts, without resorting to emotional barrage. You shouldn't either.
Then I suggest you stop. If you don't like an article, then you can skip it. There's nothing worse than people not liking an article and then decrying about it on the comments when all they need to do is move onto the next article.
You are guilty of the very things you _presume_ I am doing: Gatekeeping. I have as much entitlement to expressing myself, as you, on this site if I am doing a constructive discussion. You don't like my critique of the post? Then move on - just like you suggest. Not my suggestion but yours
Trolling me is such a wasteful spending of your time. Better would be to mind your own business instead of telling me what topics I am allowed to post or not.
