What is the best way to deal with these people? They ask for your 'intention' and ask spurious loaded questions. It makes Hacker News very unpleasant.
While I certainly think we should apply the principle of charity, that's done precisely by asking about intention - "I read you as saying X, is that what you meant?"
Would I have got someone harassing me about my 'intention' if I posted about Christian or Muslim fundamentalists who don't want other peoples suffering to be mentioned? If I say Christians killed thousands during the Spanish Inquisition, will I get someone stalking and harassing me and accusing me of slandering all Christians? What is the standard here?
But frankly, I perceive your exaggerated behaviour as childish and quite possibly abusive towards tome.

Any time things touch on sensitive subjects there's going to be people who agree and disagree, sometimes vehemently. It's the internet.
