Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamewar comments to HN? You've been doing it repeatedly, unfortunately. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

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.

The problem is that comment is totally correct. It took a school board recall to undo hugely dumb (national news) decisions that were hurtful. Sf has a history of dysfunctional goverment, take a walk around civic center or any bart station.

I see the point of trying to keep comment quality high but points like the parent are quite correct and not really starting flamewars.

The GP comment was low-information, high-inflammation—that means flamebait, regardless of how correct it is or is not. I wouldn't say it even contains enough information to count as correct or incorrect, but YMMV.

A point being correct doesn't mean it isn't flamebait. Which correct points one makes, in which order, in what context, and with what extra baggage, all matter. People (especially internet trolls) often act like "but it's correct" is some sort of blank check—this is far from the case.

Sometimes the correctness of a point makes it even worse. An example I've used in the past is middle school kids pointing out the acne on another kid's face. An example pg has used is telling an old person "you will die soon".
