alt Hacker NewsI disagree with policing someone elses language like this in the first place, but it's only one insult and it's just "Microslop".

I don't think you should insert any number of insults into summaries of what other people said. It serves no purpose other than degrading the quality of discussion. If someone posted this comment:
> Satya Nadella says as much as 30% of Microsoft code is written by AI. More like Microslop, haha!
we'd all recognize that the last sentence is pointless name-calling (and thus violates the HN guidelines). But by interleaving the insult, it's easy to trick oneself into thinking that it's meaningful commentary. The quality of HN as a discussion forum requires holding ourselves to a higher standard than that.
