No, I know you didn't - but it could have been taken that way, just chose not too. "People" falls under "weasel words" and is a handy debate tactic for framing your opponent's argument without overtly doing so. Anyway - I see your point. I too worry that we're a) septembering and b) potentially balkanising on lines that this community shouldn't be balkanised upon. I just try to take the optimistic view that HN'ers are collectively wise and mature enough to not get put out by internet bar fights, and to see them for what they are, without losing the signal.
