Hey, I understand how frustrating it is when people casually insult a group that you belong to or care about (or when it feels like they are doing that). But please don't lash back like this on HN, for two reasons. First, it's against the site guidelines and we have to ban accounts that post like this (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

Second, it's not in your interest. Fulminating may bring temporary relief but at the cost of discrediting your own position. That's not a good trade. It will only harden the other side in its views, giving people a fresh reason to be convinced they're right and righteous. Worse, by doing this you give the larger, neutral audience a reason to side against you, putting you in even more of minority than you already were (or feel you were).
