I'll add a comment here so DanBC sees it.
You have a point, I am easily trolled when people lack arguments and start discussing person.
Regarding earlier comments... I got mainly upvotes, until an hour ago.
I have argued, a year or two ago, that this subject have to much emotional attachments and doesn't work on HN. It is twice as true today, it seems people now often have secondary accounts used for trolling when they lack answers about soemthing they find important.
- grzm 10y agoI don't think what you're seeing is the action of secondary accounts. The tone of a number of your comments has been rude and aggressive, and the accusations of other users is also uncivil. You've been called out by a mod, and at least two other members have commented on your behavior. I've downvoted and flagged a number of your comments as well. You may be right about the topic not being appropriate for HN. Regardless of the behavior of other members—even if you think they're trolling—it's important to be civil. Even more so when the topic is emotional. Otherwise it's just better to refrain from commenting.
- berntb 10y agoOK, thanks. I understand that I over reacted. I have found that I am easily trolled when I have the beginning of allergy troubles. It is better to not comment than to find out the hard way I need anti histamines. Sorry for wasting people's time and energy.
- berntb 10y agoOK, after thinking about this. I have problems with non serious debaters that argue dishonestly. This is a subject where people write dishonest propaganda and where I have read a bit. I can handle a few dishonest debaters, see previous comments, but there were too many here. I guess the hateful people won. :-) (I don't really have any interest in the subject matter, for a few I years I followed my native media with NYT/BBC/Washington Post.)
