Parent commenter didn't say anything about you personally. They disagreed with you, yes, but that's not an insult.

So I can say "that is wildly unhinged" but I can't say "you are wildly unhinged"?

You understand that's pedantic, right?

But ok, noted: must be pedantic on HN. Do not use second person.

EDIT: SHIT! My bad. I meant to say: "I wonder if the person I am speaking to understands that's pedantic."

I don’t know what spectrum you’re on, but attacking an argument and attacking a person are two wildly different things. There’s nothing pedantic about that.
