Could you please follow the site guidelines? You broke them badly in this thread, producing (and feeding) a dumb, tedious flamewar.

Note these, from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

"Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."

We've had to ask you about this more than once before. That's not cool. Eventually we ban such accounts, and I don't want to ban you. If you wouldn't mind reviewing the guidelines and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
