My own goal is to never talk about the other folks on a thread. That's never the topic. As a shorthand, I never use the word 'you' in a comment if I can help it. Keep it impersonal.

How many words should one have to use to question snopes' credibility before it comes acceptable discourse? :(

It doesn't pass for discourse on HN - that's why it's been flagged into oblivion.
