I appreciate that you didn't attack anyone personally, but your comment was definitely written in the flamewar style: cross-examining, argumentative, and polemical on an inflammatory topic. That is not the curious conversation we want here, and even if you didn't intend it, it was likely to (and indeed did) provoke others into responding with inflammation of their own.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
