I am not sure if I should respond to this, given that the submission is already long gone from the homepage and this discussion did already go out of hand, but ... Like OP's title I used a hyperbole to make a point and that should be clear from the context in my opinion. I apologize in case you have fallen a victim to this phenomenon, I did not mean to trivialize this problem either. However, if what you are suggesting is that what you have been though is comparable to the victims of the Holocaust, you should get a reality check.
