Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. Regardless of how right you are or feel you are, it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

The thread itself was an ideological flame war. So in your opinion only conservatives are allowed to respond to this? How does one productively discuss with a person that thinks the most right wing country on Earth (arguably) is becoming Inhospitable to conservatives?

[dang]

The thread was certainly ideologically charged but was by no means entirely a flamewar. Your comment stood out in that respect.

Anyone is allowed to respond as long as they post thoughtful, substantive, respectful comments. The problem with your comment wasn't your political position, it was the flamebait and snark.
