I am not sure how I was supposed to know, in advance, that “no productive discussion would take place”. I only mentioned facts, not my own opinions, so the outlandishly negative reaction was not predictable. It seems that I am being held to a different standard than others, because now I am supposed to somehow correctly forecast the reaction of people to factual information before I post it, or risk being banned. I don’t post here much anymore anyway. I will do my best to make this calculation going forward, however I do not see how I can be expected to do this with a great deal of accuracy, given the wide variety of people that use HN. Also, you claim that you marked it as “off topic” even though it clearly wasn’t.
