  You should consider reading the HN guidelines. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html In your case, "Are you really this naive?" can be shortened to "".

      I understand the provocation but please don't make bad threads even worse.

  The comment you're replying to was being trollish both by making an outrageous claim as if it were a simple matter of fact and by brushing off suffering people's fate ('so what?') as if they don't matter. Nevertheless, your reply was an unsubstantive one that could only, and did, make the thread worse. Please don't roll snowballs down large hills with wet snow when there are people at the bottom.
