"Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them."
It's not my fault that too many people in the HN community refuse to have actual scientific discussions and instantly go for the down vote (not very intelligent, in my honest opinion).
If you look through my history, I've attempted to have discussions about climate change..and I'm shouted down and silenced.
HN used to have intelligent people posting that actually wanted real discussions. It's driving more and more people away from it with this sort of mob-like behavior.
