That's an interesting comment in terms of your personal experience but that last sentence obviously crosses far outside what is ok to post to HN. Please don't do that.

Intellipedia was a great way to kill time if you were on watch in a SCIF with no unclassified network access. They used to allow blogging as well, so I had a classified blog where I went over different IT-related issues I came across while working in IT.
Actually, I got in touch with an old hacker friend from the AOL days over classified chat (basically IRC). He had gone Army, but we were able to meet up on secret chat and shoot the shit. Good times.

Can we get this flagged right now (see last sentence about people needing to be killed)? This is exactly the kind of rhetoric that is going to get people killed. Not cool.

This is exactly the sort of mind reading and motive attributing that we don't need.
The US has the death penalty. How do you know the GP isn't advocating for them to be tried and sentenced for actions carrying that penalty, such as murder or treason?

The comment is indeed flagged right now, so this intended essentially a private reply: this is just depressing. We literally just saw a clear-as-day incident of political violence in this country, and it was inspired by rhetoric just like the above: general, abstract, yet absolutist remarks that paint the commenter's (and your) enemy as worthy of death for reasons that aren't ever quite elucidated but seem extremely important nonetheless.
We need to stop that. We need to stop it everywhere. Trying to excuse it is just buying into the frame that your enemies are existential threats and not just your neighbors.
Please stop.

Exactly which people is the parent going to get killed, or calling for violence against? Nothing in this comment targets a specific demographic, or group, or individual. Right up to the line? Maybe. But I don't think it crosses it.
