Hey, you're both [edit: mistake, see below] new here and obviously knowledgable about the topic at hand. At HN, we try to maintain civility - it's an explicit goal of the community. What this implies is that if you're in a discussion with someone, and you realize they don't understand an important point of the discussion, instead of using sarcasm, it's much better to say "Oh, I see, you're missing point x."


> you're both new here

My account was created 1458 days ago. Just how long does someone have to be here before you no longer consider them "new"?


Sorry, I said "both" by mistake. You are an active and well-known contributor to HN, and I know you're reasonable, which is part of why I felt soc88 was being unreasonable.
