It set off the flamewar detector. Moderators didn't touch it.

Normally we'd merge the comments into the earlier post, but since this article has more information, I'll merge them hither instead.



tbh, I don't think HN's flamewar detector is much good.


Disagree. I’m here too much and see few flame wars.


That just means the false negative rate of the detector is low. Says nothing about the false positive rate.


How would we read all the banned flame wars though?
