Someone's a troll. Plain and simple. That kind of comment is why visible account creation dates matter.

Why does the account creation matter? Because the point made bothers you so you'd better discuss the personality of the person who made them?

Address the topic, stay away from ad hominem.

Besides, my account is 209 days old.

It's not an "ad hominem" to observe that accounts with low-quality comments are new.

You attacked my comment based on your misperception of my account. It's the definition of an ad hominem.

That's not what an ad hominem is. It's Latin for "to the man." It means an argument directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining, which is not what I did at all. I argued against your false assertion that "churches already make enough money as it is" by pointing out that it's abundantly clear that not all of them do.

Also, it's not a "misperception" to observe the reality that your account is new, and that your comment is essentially thinly-veiled trolling.

209 days is "new" to you?

Why does it even matter how old the account is?

To someone whose account is 2961 days old? Yes.

What are you talking about? My account is 209 days old.

At any rate, ad hominem are not welcome on HN. Address the topic or say nothing, it's a waste of time to speculate on the author.
