Attacking someone personally is not ok. We're trying to avoid the online callout/shaming culture here: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&type=comment&dateRange=a...

Having a flamewar about the definition of a word is particularly pointless because different people have very different associations with the same word—especially when you remember that this place literally has commenters coming from all over the world.

Edit: you've unfortunately been breaking the site guidelines in other threads as well, e.g. here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32050947. We eventually ban accounts that do that, so please don't do that. 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.
