Please do not perpetuate flamewars on HN. I realize you didn't start it, but if people didn't perpetuate these things, they'd die out quickly, which is what they deserve.

This principle is known in internet folklore as "Please don't feed the trolls" (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=1&prefix=true&que...). In the HN guidelines, we put it this way: "Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead" (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). See also https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cflag.

Edit: I just noticed what you wrote in your profile about having an account only for Chinese topics. I appreciate the transparency, but single-purpose accounts like that are not allowed on HN, and especially not on flamewar topics. It's not in keeping with the intended spirit of this site, which is thoughtful, unpredictable conversation on a wide range of curiosity-driven topics.

You can see from the many past explanations at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... that we're aware of the pressure that HN's Chinese users (or those with a background connected to China - for example, family or work) experience on a majority-Western forum like HN. That's an inevitable consequence of geopolitical trends. We can't do anything about that, but we can, and do, insist that HN users follow the site guidelines and treat each other respectfully. When someone else is breaking the rules egregiously, please don't reward them by replying. Instead, flag the comment, and in particularly bad cases please give us a head-up at hn@ycombinator.com.

If you do flamewar like this on HN again we will ban you. This is vandalism.
