If Silence Is the Cost of Great Ramen, So Be It

Please do not take HN threads further into flamewar, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

I am sorry, but I am responding with the same wording as the commenter - to show how this is over the top in this context.

I understand the importance not to go into flamewars, and I am glad this is not something we have on HN, I feel however they mirroring the expressions of a commenter in as another perspective helps.

This said, point taken.

I scolded the other commenter as well, but you (i.e. each of us) need to follow the rules regardless of what other users do. "But they started it" is a recipe for a downward spiral—it always feels like the other person started it.

I completely understand what you are saying - and this is one of the points I like in HN that much. Your policing is the reason for that.

What I meant to say is that it is a figure of style to respond in a mirrored fashion (I think this is called chaismus or antithesis in English) to show that the argument works both sides.

But yes, you are right and, again, point taken. Thank you for the policing.
