Parent comment may not care. But just wanted to thank you for the link. Had just seen one documentary piece on VICE. I was not aware of these other pieces.

    My comment is at the top of this thread. So naturally, I have made a genuine effort to reply to replies. You constantly try to debase the conversation. Someone even reposted your comments to highlight how disingenuous your comments are [0]. Others have repeatedly pointed out how your comments have nothing to do with the current subject matter [1] or are simply regurgitating CCP talking points [2]. Clearly, engaging with your comments is not constructive. You are not interested in a genuine conversation. You attempt to deflate a potentially constructive conversation thread at every turn and trigger a flame war. But it is a testament to Hacker News that by and large, the community has recognized your comments and efforts to derail the conversation for what they are.

    Please stop perpetuating flamewars on Hacker News. We've had to ask you this many times before. Eventually we ban such accounts. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

      Should I just ignore FUD then, or is there some way to respond to FUD in a way that doesn’t tend to provoke flame wars?

        Good question. The two things that seem to work are: (1) Provide correct information in a way that is more substantive and more respectful than the comment you're replying to; and/or (2) Chalk it up to the internet being wrong about everything and walk away (silently—not with a swipe). As a side point, you'll usually end up at #2 anyhow, because #1 usually provokes more of the same, so after a certain number of iterations you'll find yourself in a tit-for-tat entanglement, which is greatly to be avoided. The question is what is the optimal number of iterations. Probably it's 1. Maybe 2. Not 3. 4 is right out.
