The top level comment I replied to went on the political discourse and I just carried on from there. Did he get a warning as well?

Personally I'd be happy to have less political HN. But as long as there're top level political comments.. It's too hard to resist :) I believe mods could easily mega-downvote such comments. Yet particular comment I replied to seem to be upvoted?

As for my later comment, are jokes not allowed on HN anymore? I got grammar-nazi'd, I replied back with a matching joke.
