Please omit flamebait from your HN comments. It tends to produce flamewars, which are tedious and nasty. Your comment would be fine without the last two sentences.

I didn't realise I was perpetrating flamebait; my last two sentences were meant as rhetorical hyperbole (and I wasn't targetting anyone here!)

At any rate, I like it here; so I'll try to figure out how what I said was flamebait, and try not to say such things again.

Sorry.
