Well, not all of the comments there are horrible. Though there is a guy calling himself "richardfeynman" saying some pretty silly stuff. His prior comment history is full of promptfondling.

There could be other "into the locker now" signals that are as strong as calling yourself "richardfeynman" on Hacker News, but I cannot think of a stronger one.

Yep Feynman is one of those 'it is ok to like him, but if you love him, oh no' types. (went back and checked, if it was the person whos comments jumped out at me as 'eurgh' and indeed).

(And a big indication somebody is having some really disgustingly racist thoughts about people in Pakistan is when they bring up the birth rates. Seems to be a guarantee. People really hate the Palestinians for having kids, and see that as some sort of indication that it isn't that bad what everybody is going through).

And picking that as a username is... "I know I'm a grown man, but inside I am 12 years old, and when I grow up nerds will be cool, you'll see!".

Yeah but previous posts do not have the risk of blowing up into an 'untitled' again. This will get backlash, and he will pretend that he is the victim again after the backlash.
