I agree with Tozen's sibling comment. He's not the one who starts these pointless flamewars.
It's the people bringing up these 4 year old debunked "V is scam/vaporware" points in each submission about a V release.

You've also done a great deal, unfortunately, to feed these flamewars. For example, you posted 36 (!) times in this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37344925, which applies to several of you, not just Tozen.
The responsibility to fix this lies with you guys because you're the ones who (rightly) care most about the topic. The way I see it, there are two options: either (1) you give up on taking bait, focus 100% on the interesting parts of your work and 0% (and I do mean zero) on defensiveness and provocation, or (2) we just ban this topic from HN. Personally I'm fine either way, and I'm pretty sure the bulk of the community would be also. What I don't want is this status quo headache that comes up every couple months or so.
I'd gladly not waste time by not replying to bait comments spreading debunked claims.
Can these bait comments/threads just be removed to keep HN clean?
No, we don't do that and the community wouldn't support it.
