That's like saying the there are infinite real numbers so the answers to equations are meaningless.

It is an objective truth that the Taliban partakes in the sexual abuse of children. Saying that the Taliban does not partake in the sexual abuse of children is making an objectively false statement an abhorrent one that stands to be correctly.

I appreciate the back and forth, but this entire experience has scared me. I'm not sure what to make of future discourse here.

I don't understand how correcting a factually incorrect statement and providing sources is considered against the guidelines. This response was immediately flagged as an example, and it does not break guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28171744

If the rule is not to reply so as to not start a flamewar, what you're allowing is whomever can lie and narrative shape the fastest wins as there's no room to reply. That's not a good precedent to set.

I agree some of my later posts did not confirm to the guidelines. Frustrated posting and I can no longer delete them.
