Please keep political flamewars off HN. This whole subthread is wretched and the sort of thing we're trying to avoid here. You guys have the rest of the internet if that's what you want.

Also, personal attacks are not ok and will get you banned here, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. You did that in multiple places in this thread. Please don't.

Edit: actually you've been posting so many personal attacks that I've almost banned your account. I decided not to, because you've been here for 10 years, but if you want to continue to comment here we need you to stop doing this, and stop adding to political flamewars generally.

You may not owe (or feel you owe) your political enemies better, but you owe this community much better if you're participating in it. No more of this please.
