Don’t be ridiculous, dang. Requesting sources for an incredible and unsubstantiated claim is in no way “dismissive, hostile, and/or unsubstantive”.

> You've been doing it a lot

I don’t think so. Did you have some particular examples in mind?

I'm talking about your comments as a whole, which contain many examples of dismissiveness, hostility, and unsubstantiveness. Your first comment upthread was obviously unsubstantive, and the later one was unsubstantive, hostile, and broke the site guideline against going on about downvotes.

Here are some cases:

Which one? The one asking for a source on an incredible claim? That's not welcome on HN?

Regarding the cases you linked to, only the first and last are valid. The second and third (which are the same, so I have no idea why you posted two links) don't violate any HN guidelines, as a careful reading of the conversation would make obvious.
