These comments break the HN guidelines. Please stop.

My comments were a response to those that already broke the guidelines.

The comment confessed to not reading what I wrote, but with a bragging tone.

Pointing out that someone is irrational may be a little uncouth, but it needs to be done.

If someone else is breaking the guidelines, you're welcome to email us, but not to break them yourself.

It needs not to be done. Making it personal like that never helps. When someone says something untrue, politely point out what is true, and make it about the topic, not them.
