Dan, your "flamebait" characterization is grossly unreasonable.
Nobody's flaming me, so if it were flamebait I'd deserve some kind of award for most astonishingly-ineffective flamebait in history.
You ought to call it what it is: dissident speech. Dissonant, too.
Does dissident speech get people banned from HN?
PS, I admit that the (one) ascii-art text banner was silly and inappropriate.
- dang 6y agoI use the word to mean provocative/inflammatory comments that don't contain enough information to outweigh the provocation. Such comments tend to lead to flamewars. Definitions aside, please don't post any more comments like that. We want substantive, thoughtful conversation on HN. Comments like "racist racist racist Fascist racist" are obviously not acceptable, quite apart from ascii art (though what you did with that was also not cool, and you did it at least three times). Please don't post any more unsubstantive comments like these either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25435883 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25435883 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25428670 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25428670 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25427868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25427868
