You've been breaking the site guidelines horribly, not only in this flamewar but in several others recently, like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22728949 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22727685 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22724383. That's not ok, regardless of how wrong other commenters are or you feel they are. If you keep doing it, we will ban you.

Actually, what you've been doing is already beyond bannable, and we've had to warn you more than once in the past. Please stop this and don't do anything like it on HN again.

Fair. But as long as I keep coming across racially insensitive comments like in the original post, and commenters who strongly believe these kinds of comments are a legitimate perspective, I'm not going to be able to just leave them as is. And I don't see a way to constructively engage with those kinds of comments that doesn't end in this type of exchange.

Consequently, I'm going to request that you delete my account (...If that's a thing that you can do on here. I'm not really sure. Otherwise a ban seems close enough.) I think just lurking on here would be a better option under these circumstances.

Sorry for the trouble.
