It was more what I perceived as a weirdly gleeful insincerity in your comment combined with a _lot_ of similarly weirdly gleeful insincerity in the big comment thread about the SMTP smuggling attack, which had a lot of 'GRRRREEEEAATT WORK BY THESE GUYS' type of comments

Just too much discordanism seemed to surface all at once and it was exhausting.

I know this is 'hacker' news but I always perceived that to mean 'hacker' as in the hacker ethos, not the pejorative 'yeah break shit lol' type of hacker. Sometimes it seems to be all the latter.

as someone who's been part of the community for years, I'd say your perceived version of Hacker is the correct usage here.
