You know what would actually help dang? Actually telling what exactly was flamewar about that comment instead of flexing the mod status and being biased and double standard with your selective enforcement bs just because some butthurt pussies here abuse the flag button? Talk to them instead to stop that abuse. What exactly was flamewar about posting that countries of people aren't guinea pig cages? Go on, enlighten me please. What rule did that comment break? Did you even read my comment or are you swinging your hammer based on people abusing the flag button?

I know that a detailed personalized response is more helpful, but it's impossible to do that in every case because it's so time consuming. I could spend all waking hours doing nothing but that and still only cover a fraction of the customized explanations that people want—even before counting the fact that many explanations generate further questions that need further explanation. So we have to get by with shorthand most of the time. In your case, I wasn't just responding to one comment but to your pattern of commenting; note the word "repeatedly" in my post. That's a reference to other comments like these, from the current thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612466 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612466 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612129 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612129 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612019 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612019 ... as well as sundry others from other theads such as these recent examples: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42604263 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42604263 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42565173 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42565173 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42560453 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42560453 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42543675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42543675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42493547 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42493547 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42472874 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42472874 Your pattern of commenting includes inflammatory rhetoric, being aggressive to other users, cross-examination, name-calling, political and ideological battle, sneering at the rest of the community, and other things that clearly break the HN guidelines–and that's just with your current account. It's true that your comment that I replied to (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612748 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42612748) was one of the lesser cases of this, but it still included inflammatory rhetoric ("and if my mom had balls she's be my dad" adds no information—it's just a putdown, and ditto for "America, Australia, Canada, Europe etc, aren't interchangeable lab cages of guinea pigs", since no one is arguing that they are). But the rest of that comment was fine. The reason I replied there is not because I thought it was the worst case, but because it was a leaf node in the thread. In any case, the issue (as I said) is the pattern. You're breaking the site guidelines so often that your account is on the line of being one that we would ban, if not already over the line.
