Would you please stop posting flamebait and/or unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? We have enough trouble with flamewars as it is, and you've unfortunately been doing this quite a bit. If you'd read the guidelines and stick to them when commenting here, we'd appreciate it: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.


And by far the least substantiated and most insulting comment in many threads is you saying "flame" and "flamebait" all the time. This term does not have a very good definition. It's very hard for anyone to know what exactly it is that you're trying to regulate when you use such a vague and condescending colloquialism. And you do it in like half of your posts.


If you don't see what's wrong with what you posted above, read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take them to heart. It's not hard to use this site as intended if you want to.


I presume this is just you and me talking right now, right? So, just man-to-man, how have I provided less substance than the comment I replied to? That comment was 100% opinion about causality, and that opinion left out an extraordinarily salient facts about other conditions with the Quebecois Separatist Movement and Canada in general.

I understand if you dislike my tone, and if you want to purge this place of people who aren't as docile as you'd prefer, and that's obviously your decision. But I'm not trolling. I am like this. Prior to hitting post, I turned to a colleague who was reading that comment and called the previous commenter names that I did not include in my post. But that's what you get with me. I'm quite possibly the best participant on this board when it comes to fintech, and my job is to think out of the box. That may mean that I act outside of the box, too, and if you want this place to not include people like me, so be it.
