I’m just providing my perspective on an article written from a different perspective that I found interesting. I’m not looking for a fight.

Well, you're providing a bullshit perspective. And your notion that responses like "I'm not looking for a fight" are appropriate when someone calls out your bullshit, is also a bullshit notion. Let's not get into how spreading bullshit has a meaningful detrimental impact not only on yourself but also on others, how about it?

Could you please stop breaking the site guidelines, such as by posting unsubstantive and/or flamewar comments and/or crossing (as here) into personal attack?

Your account has unfortunately been doing these things repeatedly. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
