Please don't take HN threads into classic generic flamewar topics, and definitely not with provocative one-liners, which have trollish effect if not trollish intent.

All twisted knickers are the same and it gets old fast, especially to the bystanders (a.k.a. the rest of us) who have no stake in the titillation. So please don't.

When it comes to trolling, effects matter more than intent: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....
