If you continue to post flamewar comments to HN we will ban you. I'm sure you can make your substantive points thoughtfully, so please do that instead.
The user posited the question "am I contributing to society - Not really". He himself knows he is contributing nothing, and drawing an income. It's a fact that he is a rentier, this is an economic term used by Adam Smith and Keynes.

There is nothing personal about this, I'm not talking about the guy's hair or his dress sense. There are no insults there, which is what "flame war" implies. Only the use of an economic term which has been in active use for over 100 years. It's an economic term.
I can make this point no more succinctly than I did.
