  You also perpetuated a hellish nationalistic flamewar in this thread. I know how easy it is to get provoked by provocative comments, but it's totally unacceptable and against the site guidelines for people who disagree to keep going at each other like this—regardless of how wrong the other person is or you feel it is. I'm not going to ban you because you don't have a history of doing this and you make good contributions in other areas. But for heaven's sake please don't do it again. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html (In case anyone's worried about bias, the reason for banning one account and not another has nothing to do with which side of a flamewar they were on. It's because of the history of the two accounts, not just in this thread but in other threads, and previous warnings.)

    I'm sorry, and I'm an idiot, and there is no excuse in being provoked. It's a personal failing. And I'm guilty of provoking the other poster also, it takes two to tango. I want to make excuses now, but I won't. I'm an idiot. Sorry sorry sorry.
