Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Edit: you posted a whole bunch of flamewar comments. Can you please not do that on HN, regardless of how wrong other people are or you feel they are, or how provocative something in an article is or you feel it is? We're trying for a different kind of conversation here.

You can't normalize carrying guns at dev conferences. If you let someone mention that in an "issues about a language" post, we must be able to point out a) how unrelated the 2 are and b) how murderous guns and gun-carriers are.

Guns were banned at an NRA conference. That's their own opinion on guns and gun carriers. Stop killing kids.

All that is orthogonal to whether you broke HN's rules or not. You broke them badly. That's not cool.

We have to ban accounts that do that, and I don't want to ban you so I'm asking you not to do it again.
