I thought the original comment was very good. It was succinct, humorous in an absurd way yet truthful if the reader was willing to decipher it.
I guess it could be considered snarky however I was mocking a common perspective (the idea) not the commenter that I was replying to (the person). The GPU shortage during the pandemic pushed a large percentage of the gaming population to despise cryptocurrency. Often they will criticise cryptocurrencies for contributing to climate change without realising the hypocrisy of that position.
If I had to write a rule to discourage comments like mine it would be:
"critical replies should quote and address the points of disagreement in their response directly"
This would cover indirect criticisms like mine that cause some people to react emotionally. I guess a rule like this might be too strict to enforce though maybe it could only be enforced on the most serious of offenders.
