Please don't use HN for political and ideological flamewar. It's not what this site is for.

I apologize. I should refrain from responding to flamebait.

But I waited hours before responding to:

> Every group has their wingnuts, but I'm sure as heck am glad my liberal wingnuts aren't calling for the extermination of nonwhite/nonchristian/nonheteronormitive people.

and it was still highly upvoted and had no mod response. I thought someone should respond.
