You can still moderate comments without insulting people, you know? You accused me of deflection for...asking you about the parent comment? You could have still made your point without that accusation. Or maybe dang has set the bar too high that this is new to me.
(Edit: I just saw the post where you were introduced as a mod by YC, sorry for suspecting you were a bot)
You were asked to keep to the guidelines just a few weeks ago, particularly relating to making swipes at the community, and you committed to doing so: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47243319. We wouldn't be having this interaction if you had kept to that commitment, nor if you had respectfully heeded the reminder I posted. This place only continues to exist because enough other people conduct themselves respectfully.
