- kelnos 7y agoI mean, "casually state talking points as fact without citation" is exactly what the original commenter did, so I don't see why the responder should be held to a higher standard. There's a reason why we don't like political topics on HN, and this thread is proof.
- eldude 7y agoAgreed. What led me to make my comment was more the name calling (“stupid” & “malicious”).
