Could you please not post in the flamewar style to HN, like you did here and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19185203? That's exactly what we're struggling, collectively and slowly, to move beyond. The site guidelines explain: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

For an example of a comment on a divisive topic that stays within the guidelines, I'd say the one you replied to is pretty good.

Besides the guidelines, you might also find these links helpful for getting the spirit of this site:
