On: Medium raises $25 million

I like the irony of a person talking about pedantic know-it-alls, via a comment that dissects the exact meaning of the phrase "the HN crowd".

It's not irony--it's merely illustrating the point.

There's nothing pedantic about it, what I'm saying is that's a gross mischaracterization, not a precise meaning that I'm subtly dissecting.

If I wanted to be pedantic I would point out that even if your impression were correct it still wouldn't be ironic.
