Please stop posting flamewar comments to HN and taking threads further into hell. You've been doing it a lot lately, and it's exactly the opposite of what this site is supposed to be for. We ban accounts that do this, regardless of which politics they approve of or oppose.

I'm not going to ban you because you've also been posting some good comments. But if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN in the intended spirit, we'd be grateful. The rules apply regardless of how wrong other people are or how badly they behave. The commons is fragile, especially right now, and we need community members to contribute to protecting it, not destroying it.

Okay, you win, that's a good point. Tbh "don't take conversations further into hell" sounds like an excellent additional guideline, even if it can be read between the lines.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm using the hell metaphor increasingly—not for the happiest of reasons of course. What people need to remember is that hell has circles, and as bad as the current situation is, the inner circles are considerably worse.
