Both of these comments are idiotic and flamebait.

Now that is an example of a high-quality comment! Adds value to the conversation and in no way may be considered flamebait. :-p

You would think, but I've noticed that on HN specifically, the comment pointing out that a stupid argument is forming--if it gets in early enough--tends to be both highly upvoted, and the end of the argument. One reason I like this community.

There was no argument, whether "stupid" or not. You're welcome to start one.

There already was another comment pointing out that one could kill the process from another tty.

I interpreted "Crashed my whole system" as meaning that option wasn't possible.

And yours is very polite and contribute a lot to the discussion ;-)

but being the devils advocate here, both parents of your comment are not that far off.

Ubuntu is more prone to crash because it invites the user to install much more closed source and proprietary code, by design. so they are not that idiotic and flamebaitic.
