Please don't violate the guidelines like this. We ban accounts that do.

> Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

As always, moderators have the final say, take it or leave it. I'm the first to acknowledge that, whether or not I agree with a specific decision.

Interested, though, in a subcomment to see myself sort of likened to a "daily stormer, 4chan, neo-nazi, alt-right psychopath", and that comment apparently not getting censored, despite my flagging.

I'm probably just being thick, but the ruleset is not immediately obvious to me.

Other comments are not the guidelines, the guidelines are the guidelines. Introducing a flamewar topic without anything (new or otherwise) to say about it is mentioned explicitly.
