Personal attacks will get you banned here. Even in a wretched, tedious flamewar like this one, this post stands out as seriously not ok.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Truthfully I’m just going to stop posting here. This place has become a disaster in terms of the general attitude of many commenters. The spirit of the site is to celebrate hacking, and this person is trashing some of the greatest hackers alive who are pushing the boundaries and sometimes succeeding sometimes failing. I did in fact want to know if they have been seeing mental health professionals about their attitude - it’s not an insult to ask a question, it’s a genuine curiosity of mine if these people who have this mindset have certain pathologies they are working through.
