I never thought I'd read this kind of comment on HN, I don't know how you're not ashamed of yourself and involving politics in this kind of discussion. Awful.

I never thought I'd read this kind of comment on HN, I don't know how you're not ashamed of yourself and involving politics in this kind of discussion. Awful. There are other forums you can use for this kind of communication.

"the part of Croatia that fell to the ottomans is now known as Herzegovina, which now forms the Bosnia and Herzegovina country." That is definitely not technical discussion nor is it true, and this is what I responded to.

  FFS. Yeah nationalists will bend history so they can tell how things would be right now, and I loathe that as well. But that doesn't mean that the opposite of what nationalists say must be true by definition. Parts of Herzegovina were indeed populated by ethnic Croatians and part of it was even under the kingdom of Croatia (not that being under a rule of a give king has anything to do with the ethnicity of people who live there) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia_in_personal_union_with_Hungary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia_in_personal_union_wi...

    I'm not sure what you're talking about with loopholes comment. This, "there's nothing to gain with this discussion and you did not provide a single proof", and yet you continue trying to right an obvious wrong. Also, please stop with personal attacks, language barrier, etc. I responded to something which was wrong and didn't belong here, and you're attacking me. Please stop.

      "Please find a different outlet for your nationalistic lies" also probably counts as a personal attack. Almost certainly it is against the site guidelines, which call for the most charitable interpretation of what others say.

      There's no obvious wrong except from your point of view and you provided no evidence to prove the wrong. I'm not making personal attacks, you are. There's a language barrier which prevents you from reading what was written with comprehension. You're obviously not native English speaker and I'm sure you skimmed the text before replying. I wrote nothing that's an attack, I can't read the text for you and I can't know how you read what others write as I'm not inside your head. All I can tell you wrote nothing about the original article, you jumped at a person and wrote that they write nationalistic lies. That's an attack. I just wrote, politely, that due to barrier present - this might not be the best site for you to use and that there are others out there that are in-line with the way you communicate and topics you're interested in discussing. Outright attacking someone about "nationalistic lies" without even knowing their nationality implies you assumed the nationality, identity and intent. That's not something smart people do, therefore - why not fly to your flock? I'm unsure what offends you, I did not make you not smart. You did that yourself.
