That comment was sarcastically saying the opposite of what you took it to mean—at least I believe so, based on the account's history.

Of course, it was still a bad HN comment and rightly flagged by users—but if it's evidence of anything, it's evidence that other HN commenters agree with you.

Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41071782 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41071644 also. I've replied in each place you posted this because people often jump to wrong conclusions about the community and it's important not to do that.
