You can't attack another user like this on HN, no matter how wrong they are or you feel they are.
You may not feel you owe the other person better, but you owe this community better if you're participating it; especially given the intended spirit that I attempted to describe at the top of this thread.
Denouncing others as monsters without humanity is what fuels this entire horror. The least we can do is not allow that on Hacker News.
If you call someone a monster and tell them their humanity has been stolen, that's dehumanizing language. That's not allowed here, from any side. Moreover, if one's intention is to oppose dehumanization, one should begin by not practicing it oneself.

I think labeling others as inhuman and deploying aggressive rhetoric against them is partly what fuels these horrors.
I get that your intention is to oppose injustice, but when you do it this way, you actually contribute to the violence.
I didn't call him in-human. Unlike zionists I wouldn't call people _animals_ in order justify murder of children.
I said he's lost his humanity:
Humane Having or showing concern for the pain or suffering of another; compassionate.
inhumane lacking pity or compassion for misery and suffering; cruel, unkind, not humane.
I'm sorry that English is confusing sometimes and that zionism has thrown our collective conscious into the gutter through its vile campaign.
Unlike the zionists I won't use someones lack of humanity as justification dehumanize and to murder them. I apologize for any confusion.

Just like the Nazis did to Jewish families. Just missing some time-period-specific-items, but the end result is exact and horrifying.
Pointing a finger at someone else does not mean that your HN comments were ok.
