Can you please not up the ante like this in terms of ideological vitriol? Regardless of how wrong someone else is, all this does is erode the container and make it less possible to engage with each other. The HN guidelines try to guard against this type of swerve, and if you read them you'll see that there are several that your comment violated.

(Other comments are doing a poor job of following the guidelines, too, but this was a degree worse, and you did it again downthread.)

I see you stand strong against people who say the right things with impolite words. Fine, your choice. But honestly, the more i watch these things the more i notice that you NEVER stand as strong against people who say vile hateful things in nice words.

Given this, it shouldn't be a surprise to you that people feel more and more that it's not worth to try and make an effort to stay nice if that's how "the top" behaves.

To the mods credit they did make @yummyfajitas go away. Took them years of, as you say, unevenly nice language, but finally they did.

The user left of his own accord after that warning from dang.

By the way, if you're going to make claims like "you NEVER stand as strong against people who say vile hateful things in nice words", you really need to provide evidence.

It should be easy to prove with examples, and it would signal that you're acting in a good-faith effort to improve the site rather than just trying to attack dang personally.
