Here is a meta comment: having read this entire thread, it's pretty obvious that if even reasonably educated and intelligent people on a technical forum like this descend into complete disagreement then one can think what happens among the society and people at large on both sides of the Pacific and how easily it is to descend into a conflict.

I wonder how much of the disagreement is paid-for, to ensure no actual discussion is allowed to break out.

I automatically assume that astro-turfing happens on a large scale on every public forum. HN has been around long enough and has enough high profile people on it, to make it a target. The moderation is generally quite good, but unfortunately as the astro-turfing ramps up, the moderation will need to make HN a blander and blander place as any form of opinion is censored. We aren't there yet though, so enjoy it while you can!
