alt Hacker NewsPlease don't cross into flamewar like this and please don't get into tit-for-tat spats. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
When people start arguing over who said what, who did what to the discussion, and get increasingly personal about it, it was time to stop quite a while ago.
I feel this is an unfair characterization. Which part of my response crossed into flamewar territory? Or is this preemptive because the discussion is trending in that direction?
