You posted almost 60 (!) comments in this thread, including tons of religious flamewar comments, and breaking the site guidelines as you did here.

This is seriously not cool and we ban accounts that post like this, so please don't post like this again.

I've banned the other user that you got into the longest flamewar with, but this was definitely a multiperson tango.

I agree the religious flamewar was bad. Appologies for that.

Some of the other comments in this thread that contribute to the number you quoted were not contributing to a flamewar though so I don't think the number of comments is bad per se. It's just a topic I have interest in and commenting a lot can be also a sign of a lively discussion and not a flamewar - though a lot of it was! I've seen a preference on HN for 'post and drop' style which imho contributes to a more shallow discussion. Sometimes it might be hard to find the balance I guess. If one is passionate about a topic one can quickly get too engaged in it. Anyways, wont happen again. Cheers!
