Sample Comments
This is someone's personal blog, and it seems like it wasn't posted by the person that owns the blog. Have the decency to just ignore and move on next time.
It's your blog, but it's not your comment.
It's just a blog post. It's not like he posted this to personally ruin anybody's day or Hacker News viewing experience.
It is a shame that comment is not a blog post!
I mean it's their blog, the writing is just as much for them as it is for you.
The submitter's obvious intent was to get comments on the blog.

Don't do it if you want people other than yourself visiting the blog.
It's his personal blog and there's this thing called free speech.
The blog post it was posted on? How posting it here would make people feel?
