I'm not sure how this is a personal attack, I am dismissing his comment where he suggests "There is a place in hell for people that recline in coach."

Sorry if it was interpreted incorrectly but the comment I replied to deserves dismissal.

That logic doesn't apply on HN because of the damage such comments do to the commons. Even if you don't owe better to the other commenter, you owe it to the community not to post like that here.
