Yeah, I get that, but clearly OP has taken liberties here to correlate "Everyone on HN" and "Everyone on the gmane.org site". It's just silly to bring "us" into

Yeah, I get that, but clearly OP has taken liberties here to correlate "Everyone on HN" and "Everyone on the gmane.org site". It's just silly to bring "us" into this argument. We have nothing to do with that site. If he/you/they/anyone argues otherwise, then the logical counter argument is "So I'm supposed to police every internet fight about everything I like or identify with now?" It's just fallacy to think that this is anyone's fault other than the people involved.
