As I explained to these other users*, I'm not going to ban you right now because this thread is a mob, and mobs derange people and I don't think that any of us (including me) is immune from this. But please don't ever post anything like this, or remotely close to this, ever again to HN.

For example, consider the word "remove" and the many different associations it can have.
In this case, the comment (assuming I didn't misread it, which is always possible) seemed obviously to be endorsing specific violence against a specific person and indeed wishing for it to escalate. That's a kind of violence in its own right, and a poison that we don't want here.
Sam Altman should have been removed years ago when the board tried to do so. This does not mean "to kill", execute, eradicate, or similar euphemisms.
Given his military proclivities of AI targeting and action systems in Iran, his removal is instrumental in stopping or impeding AI warafare.
But really, the bigger point here on HN is having a charitable interpretation, and was lost on my statement. I still absolutely think he should be removed. Life? No. OpenAI? Yes.
Responding to the firebombing of someone's house with the sentence "Removing him is active harm reduction for the world" has an obvious meaning. If you didn't mean it the obvious way, you should have made your point very differently.
