But I disagree strongly with your "way over the top" Daniel – that's just rude.
Mine was an on-topic factual response, substantiated with relevant links, articulated in a perfectly civil manner. Along with my sibling responses.
I bet you many people were not aware of these facts, or the broader historical context. All perfectly appropriate given the thread topic. I'm kinda sad this information (it really took effort to compile) is now invisible :(
Not only that but your comment contained other flamebait besides the Holocaust invocation. "Don't worry, there's plenty of time yet" and "So excuse me for not being impressed by your" were obvious provocations. That's not "a perfectly civil manner".
"Factual" is a red herring - there are infinitely many facts. They don't select themselves; humans do that. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
Nope, it wasn't. See my sibling response to random314.
Just because others cried wolf before, doesn't mean you shouldn't cry wolf when you see one. Indeed you must, given the parent post (detached now, context lost). I didn't draw that analogy out of nowhere – it's apt, and driven by both hard data and curiosity.
Choosing to ignore your "this should not be hard to understand" and "everyone knows" snarks.
