I'm not sure what the issue is here but it's not ok to cross into personal attack on HN. We ban accounts that do that, so please don't do it again.

how is that a personal attack?

a personal attack would be eg calling him a DC.

all I did was point out the intellectual dishonesty of his argument. that's an attack on his intellectually dishonest argument, not his person.

by all means go ahead and ban me

"I will not pretend you are engaging honestly" is well into the realm of personal attack, and you can't do that here.

Ditto for "I am very disappointed about your BULLSHIT" in the GP comment.

What's not credible about Andy Masley's work on this?
