Apologies if it came this way, I didn't point out (or wanted to) if they are wrong or not, I just wanted to expose some flaimbait and sophisms used to defend neo-nazi groups.

I felt like using sophisms to defend neo-nazis wasn't in the spirit of HN, I come here for the intellectual curiosity and productive messages.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how that's an accurate representation of what you did in this thread. You attacked the other user badly, in violation of HN guidelines like "assume good faith", and accused them of doing a bunch of things that (at least from what I saw) they hadn't done. That's not cool.

I know that with a topic this provocative it's difficult to read other people correctly, but the site guidelines provide explicit guidance about that too:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
