You crossed repeatedly into personal attack and name-calling in this thread. That's not allowed, and we ban accounts that do it, regardless of how wrong or annoying another commenter is or you feel they are.

Would you please review the site guidelines and use HN as intended? We'd appreciate it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Note also the one about not using HN for political or ideological battle. That's also not what this site is for—regardless of what you're battling for or against.

Edit: we've already had to warn you about this quite a few times. Please fix this so we don't have to ban you.

I’m sorry dang! I’m such a sucker for when someone says something upsetting. My apologies. It just slowly escalated and I always take the bait. I feel bad.

Just by the tone of this response I can infer that you did not

People with healthy levels of arrogance and self-confidence don't talk in such a poised manner pivoting against other demographics when questioned about how they fare at the micro level.

Would you please stop perpetuating flamewars on HN? You've already been doing it a ton with this new account. That's not cool—it's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for, and we ban accounts that do it. If you want to have inflammatory arguments about sensational and divisive topics, please do that somewhere else. We want curious conversation here.
