> lecturing everyone "No, you really want to have 0 risk, you fools"

On HN, please don't use quotation marks that make it look like you're quoting someone when you're not. It may seem a minor point, but we've found that it's important for clarity and respect.

Also, "lecturing everyone" is borderline name-calling, which the site guidelines ask you not to do: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.



Point taken about the quotes. It was thought as a figure of speech, but I can see how that could be misinterpreted.

"Lecturing everyone" is not at all name-calling. That's what he's been doing repeatedly, with code examples in several if not most threads related to C++ and safety.

I also don't consider pointing out to someone that they're lecturing offensive or abusive. In this case, this behaviour has derailed the thread and attracted criticism from many other people.
