Avoiding outrage fatigue while staying informed

Personal attacks will get you banned here. Moreover, we've had to warn you more than once before about breaking the site guidelines. I don't want to ban you but if you keep doing this, we'll end up having to.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

p.s. Also, please don't use HN primarily for political or ideological battle. That's another line at which we ban accounts (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...).

How are you interpreting that as a personal attack? I didn't say anything about the posters character?

"lmao at this guy [...] you can't be serious [...] I know you are though" pattern matches, to me at least, as a snarky putdown.

If you didn't intend it that way, it would probably be better to have expressed your point in a way that made that clearer. Past explanations about this, in case helpful: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
