Did you miss the word 'primarily'? That's the most important thing in what I posted above.

But the question is how people go about talking about them. If they're just trying to smite enemies and using the usual weapons (snark, name-calling, etc.) to do it, that's clearly against the site guidelines and not what we want here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
