Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

  • oh please, just trying to be funny

    have wanted to do this meme for so long

    my bad though

    • Oh, sorry if I overreacted. I'm sensitive on this point because I want to protect accounts like yours and I know how strong the forces are that push them towards provocation, then flamewar.

      By "accounts like yours" I mean ones that express minority views on any divisive topic. That is valuable to the community but, unfortunately, there is a lot of pressure on anyone who wants to comment that way, and it often doesn't go very well. We've seen this over and over.

      I wrote a longer reply to you about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42714563. Just wanted to add some context.
