Please don't post in the flamewar style to HN. We're trying for something else here.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

I admit I didn't need to call the other poster foolish. I don't think refuting their point with examples is exactly a "flamewar", though.

It has to do with how you do that. Note this site guideline:

"Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine."

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar—this is exactly the wrong direction to go, even if you were provoked.

Edit: it looks like you've been doing this repeatedly already; could you please not? It's destructive of everything we're trying to have here.
