@dang this is a pathetic response. HN encourages garbage comments and posts, but doesn't allow anyone to follow up. You think you're creating a safe space for discussion, but really you're creating an echo chamber of bad information.

The harm that bad information causes is incalculable, so no, I won't stop commenting on stupid posts. Perhaps you need to evaluate your responsibility to the world at large, and your role in supporting disinformation.

If someone believes that banking regulations are the "nanny", they shouldn't be allowed to comment on adult topics. Sorry not sorry.

Does it matter to you that you do more harm than my flames?

YCombinator just funded arguably the worst startup in history, Skip the Interview. Maybe you could do with a little dissension?

Of course it's fine to have different views. What's not fine is to express them in flamey ways that break the site guidelines. It's not that hard.
