@dang, please check my comment history. I am not a "nationalist", but I am tired of comments like these which continuously seem to appear in HN. Every. Single. Thread. about anything India does, and these people come out of the woodwork: "but people are still shitting in the streets! but there is no drinking water! Snake charmers hurr durr!"

I would urge you to ban these people first.

I'm sorry, but you were both at fault. The other commenter posted a flamebait provocation and you took the bait and responded by breaking the site guidelines even worse. This is how internet forums destroy themselves, so we really need to be proactive about not doing this.

Of course I also hear your underlying point and understand your frustration.

I'm sorry, but I just snapped. Seen too many of such comments.

I agree, it does not excuse my response. Thank you for doing the thankless job of keeping this forum running on track.
