No, it was a groundless inflammatory comment. It's not ok. It's not "a metaphor". It's needlessly offensive and very harmful to Nim and its community. Your comment is currently at the top of a thread, with a very heavy accusation towards the community - tolerating hate speech of any kind is basically as bad as it can be for a community. Even on HN, there will be many people who won't read your further comments, won't know that it's "just a metaphor", and will believe it. Then, when I try to invite them to some Nim conference, they'll tell me that "Oh, Nim... Would be good, but the community is so hostile, so I'll pass". Please, at least realize what you have done, and don't do it again. Please.
