You are always SO quick to shut down discussion but the guy you’re replying to is not flaming anyone and he is making really interesting points

- dang 7y agoThe issue isn't that the commenter was flaming a particular person but that the comment was going into a generic ideological tangent. That's a classic flamewar zone and off topic here. I'm sorry to tell you that it's off topic since you find it interesting, but we don't have much choice but to build firewalls around HN. Highly-charged political topics would take over very quickly otherwise; they are more impassioned and inflammatory (and important, arguably) than anything else that gets discussed here. By the way, I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance to respond to you in earlier threads. I saw your comments and would normally have been happy to answer, but ran out of time.
- dondawest 7y agoOkay, good points. I see it your way now. Thanks for the response. I appreciate you dude.
