Crossing into personal attack is not ok and we ban accounts that do it repeatedly, so please don't.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it. Note this one: "Edit out swipes."


"People like me." Nice.

The subject is violent crime. Don't cite a page that lumps property crimes in. Might want to look at some relevant data; https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-crime-rate-bob-lee-sf-vio... has a handy chart halfway down, if you're not interested in reading.


I understand (believe me, it's in my bones) how hard it is not to lash back at people who resort to snark and swipes when they don't like what you're arguing on the internet—and how it's a thousand times harder when an impromptu mob is ganging up on you (or it feels like one is). But please don't cross the line yourself.
