You need to learn where these rules apply, not just how to quote them. OP introduced context for the murder. It may not be particularly relevant or it may be spot on, but it's hardly introducing flamebait or ideology into the conversation.
- jedimind 6y agoPlease who are you kidding? The rule "Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That destroys the curiosity this site exists for." is perfectly applying here. It's not introducing context but trying to stir a toxic political blame game. By the way, as I have written above, even that information is totally false, he NEVER lived in bangladesh, so he doesn't even come from that culture, nor was it ever written in the article, so why bring that up except for ideological reasons?
- TomVDB 6y ago> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle You keep on repeating that OPs comment was political or ideological, yet OP didn't mention politics nor religion nor ideology. They simply stated that Bangladesh has issues with extremists using these kind of tactics. They didn't say what kind of extremists, and since I don't know a whole lot about Bangladesh, I frankly don't have a clue. You're more than welcome to point that Bangladesh doesn't have these kind of issues, or that the victim wasn't much related to Bangladesh. That's an interesting counterpoint, much more so than seeing things that aren't there.
- jedimind 6y ago> yet OP didn't mention politics > They simply stated that Bangladesh has issues How is this not politics? The article is about a young tech entrepreneur from New York, the article also hasn't mentioned bangladesh once. This is just getting laughable at this point.
