Copy-pasting a piece of high ideological rhetoric into this thread created one of the worst tire fires I've seen in a long time, including flamewars about competing genocides, the origins of Apple, Bitcoin, the bombing of Japan, and the devil knows what else.
Perhaps if it were one flamewar amid a bunch of on-topic, thoughtful replies, that could be called a coincidence, but in this case it's painfully clear that your comment set off the whole thing. Please don't ever do anything like this on HN again.

Edit: I think I could have modulated this comment a bit better. Sorry! More downthread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27776445.
