A spirited debate is one thing, but a comment suggesting that you haven't won the debate merely because the person you're arguing with is corrupted by money crosses a line. It's flatly uncivil and, more or less, an accusation of shillage; those accusations are verboten on HN.

I saw this because I read all of 'dctoedt's comments, because they are uniformly excellent, and was moved to comment because accusations like the ones you made here drive me fucking nuts. Please stop making them.
