S/he was pointing out facts.

And s/he did so without accusing anyone of being "unfounded, ignorant".

And without accusing anyone of being "so locked into your position that it doesn't matter what you are shown, you will ignore it and instead fall back to your ignorant position."

Was it anti-immigration? I guess so. Was it off topic? Possibly, I'll let the mods decide.

But you are the one who bring the accusations.

An anti-immigrant stance is by definition unfounded and ignorant.

I know s/he is locked in their position because of how often they bring it up in threads all over HN.

It doesn't matter if I'm making an accusation. The other poster comments frequently on immigration on HN.

This is plain wrong (edit: as can be proved by looking up the definitions.)

If you said racist, then I would agree.

But there are a number of good reasons to be sceptical to certain kinds of large scale migrations.

You have just admitted to the same in this very thread.

Commenting on immigration is not a crime. If you think a comment is somehow against the guidelines then flag it: the mods here are pretty fair (and can flame people way better than anyone of us).

Well, racist requires there to be race so I'd argue xenophobic rather than racist, but how is that not ignorant?

Where was large scale migration ever mentioned? It's hard to migrate, that is a fact.

>Commenting on immigration is not a crime.

Neither is replying to a comment on immigration.
