- tptacek 10mo agoI agree with you about the previous comment, which was unhelpful, but regarding Hezbollah, I'm afraid you're making claims about things you want to be true more than you are relating any actual research. It's my fault for picking this scab with you again in the first place, though.

- UltraSane 10mo agoTptacek has been one of the more reasonable voices on this thread and it is odd you would single him out for criticism. Your use of the word "goybucks" is very concerning.

- tptacek 10mo agoI apologized for correcting a comment from someone who I believe isn't in a place to discuss the issue, and who would predictably contest the claim --- since we'd already had the same disagreement elsewhere, bringing it up again, however valid my concern was, was bad for the thread. The apology was in no way whatsoever a reflection of my beliefs about what actually happened. "Goybucks" is absolutely not OK here.
- newspaper1 10mo agoJews use "goy" as a slur against non-Jews. As a so called "goy", I don't find "goybucks" offensive and in fact appreciate the attempt to reclaim the word.

- tptacek 10mo agoI think the ship has sailed on you putting things politely in this thread.
- bigyabai 10mo agoYou think quite a lot of things other people disagree with in this thread.
- tptacek 10mo agoThough: this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in, it doesn't call for bubble withdrawal. I've been told it's a fact of life: men have to kill one another. Well, I say there are still things worth fighting for!
- bigyabai 10mo agoI hope that you discover a world worth that is worth sharing with your fellow man, in your lifetime.
- UltraSane 10mo agoWould you be ok with "abeedbucks"?
- dang 10mo agoYou also have been breaking the site guidelines badly by perpetuating this flamewar and by using HN primarily for political battle. That's not ok, and if you keep doing it we will have to ban your account. HN's rules don't change based on how right you are or feel you are, or how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
- sporkxrocket 10mo agoI’m simply responding to people who are attacking my posts though.
- dang 10mo agoWe need you (i.e. everyone) to follow the rules regardless of how others are behaving. It always feels like the other person started it and did worse (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20other%20started%20worse&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), so you (i.e. all of us) can't rely on that as a basis for responding. It leads to a downward spiral, and eventually scorched earth.
