Could you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? You've been doing it a ton, unfortunately, and we have ban that sort of account. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

What we want here is thoughtful, curious conversation, not people bashing each other's comments or inflicting snark on each other or ideological talking points.

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.
