You've been posting flamewar comments to this thread, which is against HN's rules and particularly against the intended spirit that I tried to express at the top of the thread. Please stop doing this. The thread is hellish enough as it is, and posts like these put it on the fast track to far worse.
Then kindly please eliminate racist and antisemitic comments so people don't have to respond to them. Especially the ones that spread false information and hatred like the comment I was responding to.
I'm trying to make the moderation calls as even-handed as possible and have scolded many accounts (and banned some) who are taking the opposite position from yours—including the commenter who was just arguing with you here.
That doesn't change the fact that you (I don't mean you personally, but everyone commenting) need to follow the rules and post in the intended spirit regardless of what others are doing.
Everyone always feels like the others started it and are doing worse; if you take that as a basis, all we end up with is a downward spiral, and that's what we're trying to avoid here.

Thank you. I'll try to do my best.
