The reason why I pointed this out to you is because the site guidelines used to have a rule against signing comments, and I was operating on that assumption. I'm frankly surprised it's not in the current version, but you can see it here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160310014355/https://news.ycom...
Just CTRL + F for "sign."
More to the point, I'm sorry you feel like I was flaming/trolling you, I wasn't trying to do that. My memory of the guidelines is technically out of date, but in principle it still doesn't really make sense to me to sign your comments even if the explicit rule has been removed. If you had just done it once I wouldn't have said anything, but I looked at your comment history and noticed that you're relatively new to the community and have signed almost all of your comments.
I just figured I'd politely ask you not to do it since it is pretty redundant - your username is effectively being written twice for every comment you write, you're just adding the full last name explicitly. Sorry you felt attacked.
