      Maybe you should read the article before posting something like this

        This is exactly the sort of comment the guidelines explicitly say not to write.

        <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsguidelines.html">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsguidelines.html

        &gt; Please don&#x27;t comment on whether someone read an article. &quot;Did you even read the article? It mentions that&quot; can be shortened to &quot;The article mentions that&quot;.

          True, but... when they themselves say that they didn&#x27;t read the article, and post a random opinion that is contrary to the article, then &quot;maybe you should actually read it&quot; is at least somewhat called for.

            The comment appears to have been edited. I saw nothing about having not read it. So to me it looked really smarmy and unwarranted.
