Yeah, that was a dumb comment. Sorry.

Would you please stop taking the thread further into flamewar? I understand that you're justifiably upset about it, but you've posted 29 (edit: now 35) comments in this thread alone, many of them repetitive, and at this point you're falling into swipes. That doesn't help persuade anyone and it certainly isn't the curious conversation we're hoping for here.

By the time we get to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30226076, followed by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30226101, followed by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30226189, the intended spirit of this site has been completely lost.

Edit: Since this request didn't work, I've rate limited your account. Lest that seem to be out of bias, I've also rate limited the other commenters who have been feeding the repetitive flamewar side of this thread. I also banned at least one of the worst offenders. If you don't want to be rate limited, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the site guidelines in the future.
