A bit more civility might help you avoid a repeat of that.

My understanding of the "civility" standard is whether I would say it in person. My comments do pass this test.

Brilliant judgement you've made of someone you don't know. I'm sure

I'm just taking what you said at face value. If you come on HN, act like an asshole, and go on to say you'd behave the same in person, then the inference is pretty obvious, isn't it?
