A better approach is: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: it looks like you've also been breaking the site guideline that asks people not to use HN primarily for political or ideological battle.
