I'm not sure he's doing any of the things you claim. Pretty much any opinion he gives in response to a post is going to "nurture a conflict" simply because he's pg. But I think HN would be worse off if that caused him to stop giving opinions altogether. Also, it's hard to see how he's picking on a small part of the op. A significant portion of it references pg, quotes him, and speculates on his thought process. What small part, exactly, did he pick on, and how did he blow it out of proportion? If anything, it seems to me that he agreed with the gist of the post, while at the same time clarifying his own position. Ironically, your response seems to commit the very crimes it criticizes.
