You set off a hellish flamewar with that swipe, and then you perpetuated it worse (by far) than any other commenter in this thread). That's egregiously against the site guidelines. You unfortunately have a long history of doing this and we've had to ask you multiple times, going back years, to stop. Seriously not cool. We ban accounts that do this. If you don't want to be banned, please don't do anything like this ag…

You've editted that comment a number of times trying to explain why you flagged my top comment. Maybe... the initial comment wasn't actually all that bad? "Horse paste" really isn't a "swipe". It is a term used in exasperation for sure, but it is indeed a correct term for the drug preparation and how it was used by the community eating it. I'll take the hit on the responses, though. It's very hard to leave things lik…

The initial comment was definitely that bad. Horse paste was obviously a swipe (what the HN guidelines refer to as calling names), and an inflammatory provocation. This has been a classic flamewar topic for some time now. The flamewar was entirely predictable.

I compulsively edit everything I write - sorry if that was confusing. And thanks for the kind reply—I appreciate it, and believe me I know how hard it is.

> The vaccinated are also likely to be taking other mitigation strategies seriously. It could also be true that vaccinated people are willing to take greater risks now that they knowingly have a level of protection.

That's mixing up data sets. The "unvaccinated" of today (dominated by those who have refused the vaccine) aren't the same population of last April (people without access to a vaccine they want), to which you belonged. The latter were wearing their masks and being cautious. The former clearly aren't. While they're both "unvaccinated" they don't have the same behavior here.

I have see this argument a lot (from people who are against vaccination) that vaccinated are less responsible. My personal experience shows the opposite.
