    Your rules are too subjective and loosely defined for me to understand what is and is not "flamewar style". Could you work on updating these to be more decisive and objective? I have no clue what I did wrong based on that link, other than you just didn't care for it personally. Asking someone to explain themselves and telling them why they should does not appear to be "flamewar" material imo.

      Sorry if it wasn't clear, but I was responding to your comments as a whole in this thread and other threads - for example these ones: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878534 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878534 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878406 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878406 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878395 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878395 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35877501 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35877501 The problem is being aggressively disputatious and using flamewar tropes like snark and name-calling, which is not allowed here, especially on divisive topics. I hope that helps explain things. There's no way to eliminate the subjective element, but we try not to make any dramatic interpretive leaps in applying the rules. For example I'm pretty sure almost no one in this community would disagree that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878534 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878534 was a flamewar comment.
