You violated the site guidelines by taking this thread into just the sort of flamewar we're trying to avoid on HN. Would you please (re-)read them and not do this again?
If you wish to take issue with the fact I called a political figure a douche, fine.
But I will not refrain from using such language in the future when I feel it's appropriate.
Although, if you want to declare I started what can hardly be described as a flame war just by stating an opinion, you should just delete my account now.
I'm not getting into a nitpick over his alliances to left-wing groups I strongly dislike or that he commonly tries to pull high ranking democrats further left than necessary, etc.
> So you just wanted to attack him personally without having any obligation to back up your opinion? Do I understand correctly?
Last time I checked, I posted useful information in this thread and only noted my opinion of Schneiderman after "josefresco" specifically named him in an attempt to divert the conversation. If I wanted to attack him specifically I would have picked a better forum than Hacker News where politically charged discourse is generally frowned upon. And moreover, I owe no one any further explanation of my opinion of Schneiderman; much less you in particular.
