Could you please not post in the flamewar style to HN? You've done it repeatedly in this thread, unfortunately, and we're trying for the opposite here.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

That's unfair. I'm going unfairly called out even though I stand by my beliefs and I'm only trying to defend myself. How are the replies to my comments in any way acceptable and according to HN guidelines???

"Put your money where your mouth is", come on. That's not acceptable and it's provoking. How can you defend bullies like this?

I'm not a mod (and I flagged the comment you had originally replied to so I'm on "your side"), but I'd apply "two wrongs don't make a right" here.

I think the feedback is fair. I'd say just take it (the feedback) and move on.

I specifically responded with an identical reply to the other main commenter you were arguing with, who was also breaking the rules.

Still, someone else breaking the rules doesn't make it ok for you to do so, and pointing the finger at others instead of taking responsibility is not a helpful response.

You can absolutely put your money where your mouth is, today, right now. Upload a picture of your Framework 13 or Thinkpad T/X-series pre-T440, etc.

I presume most of the people on this site make enough to make purchases based on values instead of solely economics.

Alternatively, you can run for government on policies to price in externalities like this. Good luck winning your election!
