Please don't use Hacker News as a religious or ideological battleground. It tramples curiosity. Please don't pick the most religiously/ideologically provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.

This is interesting! People ignoring this, I think, is also interesting on its own. I respect if other people disagree, but that's my 2c. I think our overton windows may not agree here, but I think this is part of the value of discussions with other humans. Are you a moderator? The directive tone of this post is as if from an authority figure, but, but I do not believe you are one. I do not believe there is anything about a religious or ideological background here. Could you please clarify? I also believe it is your post that could be more accurately described as trampling curiosity; I believe there is a role reversal, in that I think your comment is a better description for trampling curiosity than the post your are responding. I'm not trying to be snarky - I'm curious how you came to those conclusions.

  The tone of the GP is such because it's a quote from the rules/guidelines. However, applying that rule to what you said makes no sense to me, fwiw.

    I do not think you are someone who I enjoy any form of communication with. I think you are not very nice.
