IMO sometimes a bit of "flame" is needed. Imaging a society that works only with kind interactions with anyone perfectly working "in the system" toward an excellent life is the real basic step on any dictatorship movement. And these are not my own ideas, perhaps the Candid by Voltaire depict perfectly well that scenario. Perhaps Victorian era prove it really well at society scale.
However I know that I'm on a proprietary platform so not a democracy, not a really free shared place (regardless of efforts HN stuff can put in appear to be free and friendly) and than I can choose to comply or go. I consider this really sad for our society at a whole.
So sorry, perhaps I'll keep commenting on in case I do not have to "flame" a bit, perhaps I'll stop commenting at all. I have no doubt that you work hard to keep HN informative and clean and I can imaging how hard it can be in the present time when anyone, being essentially powerless so without responsibilities, leave any brake apart and simply vent frustration in inflammatory text just "to fight".
However it's a fight not toward a better world but toward windmills because the sole way of being really in harmony is being really free, no enlightened dictator with no matter how good it's intentions are, and even in that case sometimes not-so-clean confrontation will still happen.
Have a nice day.
