"I think Dan's point is that there's never a need to introduce references to a commenter's nationality or other presumed essential traits.

No matter how self-evidently full of excrement their droppings here may be."

So how comments like this fit the site's guidelines?

Btw, that's another account "using HN primarily for political and nationalistic battle".

There's nothing political or nationalistic at all in my comment.

My posts refer mostly to historical events, and attempt to correct the various (sometime rather bizarre) cognitive distortions that some people like to hold and promote about them. Along with many much milder and more innocuous misunderstandings.

Personally I eschew all forms of nationalism and nationalist rhetoric.
