I realize the other comment was provocative, but provocation is not an ok reason to break the rules—it just leads to a downward spiral. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the intended spirit of this site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Are they rules or guidelines? I know them and consider them when commenting, but they are phrased as requests and so I treat them as such.

I guess both? I use 'rules' and 'guidelines' more or less interchangeably in the HN context.
