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

This is a classic flamewar topic that leads to nasty places and never generates anything interesting or new. Please don't go there on HN.

I believe you, but unfortunately these things have to be judged by effect rather than intent, and the effect is invariably inflammatory.
