> your take on things made me think an adult opinion was warranted.
This is one of the most arrogant and patronizing comment I've read on HN, you should have read your comment before posting it, you really sounded prickish on this one.
I figured it would come across as at least slightly prickish because it was very very patronizing. I wouldn't say arrogant though, considering the majority of the comment was correcting the easily google-able falsehoods in the parent comment. Arrogant would be preaching your subjective political view while getting all the facts wrong.
I defend the use of patronizing mockery as a proper tool to discourage comments that smugly dismiss facts to push a political ideology.
