Stow the butt-hurt. I've looked at the facts. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars will be remembered as the end of the American era, unless Silicon Valley can build US 2.0. and disassociate themselves from Washington.

Really? The poster above posted these facts. http://archive.is/vAWQa http://archive.is/vAWQa Will you look at those too or just conveniently ignore them like the other posters who downvoted the FactCheck link above?

  Will you use your normal account or just conveniently hide behind fake accounts to say things you know are stupid?

    Citing FactCheck links is stupid, now?

    Considering that my normal account was permanently slowed and is apparently unable to post more than once an hour due to this thread, I'd say "hiding" is useful if one wants to express an unpopular opinion on HN, merely to retain the functionality of his normal account.

      That's the system working as intended. This site isn't meant to be about rapid back-n-forth banter or quick retorts and small points. If after an hour, what you meant to say isn't worth saying then it's clear it isn't worth having on the site.

Comments with the term "butt-hurt" should be immediately flagged and removed from all HN posts.

  Fair enough. I just love that expression.

    In terms of depth of vocabulary, English is probably the most expressive language in history. I'm sure you can come up with a sharper instrument than "butt-hurt".

      It's funny in the way that farts and people tripping on bananas is funny.
