Would you please stop using HN for political/ideological battle? You've done it quite a bit and it's not what this site is for.

Similarly, would you please not post unsubstantive comments here?

Every comment in this thread is ideologically driven. It seems that if you don't want people commenting with political opinions, there shouldn't be political submissions.

As far as substance goes, how is my comment less substantive than the top comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15575704) on the thread? I said that it was foolish to consider protesting fascism to be worse than fascism, and that commenter said that protesters should be expelled. They're equally substantive comments that express opposing views on the issue in from the article.

A certain amount of politics is inevitable, but more than that turns HN into a war zone, which destroys the things the site exists for: intellectual curiosity and thoughtful conversation. So it's a tricky problem. We do two things to address it (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html):

1. Accounts that use HN primarily for political/ideological battle are obviously not using the site as intended, so we ban them.

2. Commenters are asked to avoid the inflammatory style of political argument. Comments need to get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Unfortunately it looks like you've been running afoul of both of these. You need to fix that if you want to keep commenting here.

The "what about that other comment" argument, a.k.a. "the other person started it", doesn't really count as a defense because we can't possibly see everything that gets posted here. Not everyone who speeds gets pulled over for a ticket either. I agree with you that that comment was a bad one, but it doesn't mean yours were ok.
