Would you please stop taking threads on flamewar tangents? Your comments in this thread have been inflammatory and offtopic. That's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Well, sincerely, my objective here is to spark thought provoking discussion, which should lead to personal cognitive improvements. But I must admit that it's kinda not my fault that the format I chose is really provocative.

edit: And doesn't that defeat the purpose of a nerd-rich forum like Hacker News? The stifling of creativity and abstract thoughts? I came here to socialize and find bright minds, no offense.

I'm not worried about whose fault it is, I just need you to stop posting like this to Hacker News. As I said, it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. And it's particularly dismaying to see in a thread such as this one.
