An obviously flaggable comment will get flagged. If you can't say anything other than that then I'm not sure why you'd reply. And anyway, if you can't understand why digging ditches all day is not valuable (after all, look at all the hard work they're doing!) then I'm not sure what to tell you. It's a shame, 4 month old account but still succumbs to comments like this, not sure how HN moderation can fix that.

Cry me a river

Yikes, posting like this will get you banned here regardless of how right you are or feel you are. I'm not going ban you for this because the account doesn't seem to have a history of it, plus everyone goes on tilt sometimes. Please don't do it again though.

Also, please avoid generic ideological battle on HN - it's tedious, predictable, and leads to flamewars like this. (That goes for all the commenters on both sides of this argument, of course.)
