Quite a few comments you've posted recently have crossed into incivility. You can't do this on HN. If you keep doing it, we will ban your account.

Please take extra care to be civil when disagreeing on HN. Snark, acerbic overstatement, and personal rudeness are all unwelcome here.

We've had to warn you about this more than once before. You've also posted some good comments, so I'm inclined to give you another chance, but if you want to keep posting here, please fix this and make sure it stays fixed.

Considering the amount of censorship ("snark", "acerbic overstatement", "personal rudeness", and repeated threats "we will ban your account"), I am not at all convinced I want to keep posting here: "Hacker News" seems to have degraded into a club where people who stroke each others' egos get praised and rewarded, and where any criticism is labeled and severly reprimanded, even when it is warranted. I also do not appreciate being dictated in which style I am to express myself. Lastly, the cultural bias criteria for what consititutes "personal rudeness" is, from my point of view, insensitive in the extreme.
