Your account has unfortunately been breaking the site guidelines a ton lately. That's not ok. Would you please fix it? Posting in the flamewar style is not cool, regardless of wrong someone else is. Personal attacks are not cool. Religious flamewar is right out.

Sorry. How can I delete the comment in question? It's aged out for edit.

I've deleted it for you. Please don't miss that the issue wasn't just that one comment, though. It's the pattern with your account, unfortunately.

I realize that as social and political conditions become more polarized, it gets harder to practice the intended spirit of the site, but if HN is to survive, we all have to pitch in. That's one reason the guidelines say "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." "More divisive" is the trend of the world these days, and there's no way HN can expect to be immune from that.

I acknowledge my mistake, likewise your graciousness in dealing with me.

Being that the parent comment is dead I'd assume that this comment won't be publicly visible but I'd like to give a deeper commentary that could be misconstrued by some here, as well take some thought to put together so I'll send that to your HN email.

Regardless of the above, I'm chagrinned and remorseful to generate non-positive dialog here.
