Your two comments in this thread contain one fine, substantive statement: "Aliases in powershell are not turned off by default. Aliases either exist or they don't. When speaking of aliases alone, bash is no simpler nor more complex than powershell." If you had simply replied upthread with that in the fist place, it would have made a fine comment with a very high signal/noise ratio. Unfortunately the rest of both comments is just noise, tanking the ratio.

As I explained upthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25862312), the internet is crazy-making this way, but it's not some property specific to HN and it's not something that's somehow changed lately. It's intrinsic to the medium, and we all need to build our skills in coping with it—which includes not reacting from a provoked place. That's not easy, but it's necessary to the sort of community we're trying for here, and we need everyone to work together on that.
