That's an argument for unmoderated flamewar. That's not what HN is. If you're imagining a version of HN that is "like the current HN, but without the current moderation practices," you'll have to forgive me for considering that a fantasy.
There's also no evidence that anybody said that as a "discussion sinking" tactic. On the contrary, the simplest explanation easily applies: people responded to flamebait with more flamebait, which cascaded into flamewar. This is one of the most common phenomena that exists here, and one doesn't need sinister constructs to understand it.

I am not calling for it, what I told is topics turning into flamewar regardless of merits of original conversation, and that any important topic sinks very quickly.
