Flip and lighthearted often comes across as snarky and ragey on the internet. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.
The problem isn't just one comment, it's that you've been posting like this repeatedly. We need higher-quality, more thoughtful comments on HN. It's not enough to rage at someone who got more money than you think they deserve. That sort of thing damages the container by lowering signal/noise ratio and encouraging worse from others.
I don't mean to pick on you personally at all—it's a systemic problem and lots of users underestimate how much they do it by 10x or more. But you've been here a long time and are a good user and we need people in that category to represent the values of the site.
