Thanks for proving my point, I'd perhaps rather watch the world melt than have your sneering ass running the show. I kid, but it's a close call.

It's fun to think I'm running the show, isn't it. Yes, I fully own my unbounded contempt for the fragile-ego'ed patriots tearing the country apart. But I'm not running the show, am I? And that doesn't matter. The people running the show, Clinton and Obama and Biden and so forth, speak in diplomatic terms and offer olive branches and try to see the other side and it earns them nothing but vilification. Because the fragile egos listen to people who want to keep them angry and suspicious. Who treats them with greater contempt, the politicians who try to work on their behalf while being burned in effigy or the propagandists who lie to them to keep them aggrieved? And how is anyone supposed to respect someone whose values are so askew and who is so easily led? This is nothing new.

Please don't perpetuate flamewars on HN and particularly please stop posting personal attacks. We ban accounts that do that, and you've unfortunately done it repeatedly. That's not cool here. This whole subthread stands out as particularly wretched but even in a context as bad as this, "your sneering ass" was egregious. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
