This account has been posting a lot of unsubstantive comments, but this one stands alone in its incivility. Since we prefer to ban accounts only after they've been warned, this is it. Please re-read the guidelines:
I'm sorry, but having reread the rules I don't see how my comment violates them. I think you don't exactly get the point of my comment, which was to show that the name "holoportation" wasn't chosen right, because, at least to me, it looks like a combination of "holocaust" and "transportation". I could've just pointed that out in that kind of wording, but I chose to package it in a joke instead.
Humor seems to be pretty hit-or-miss on HN, but when pressed I'd say my joke was funny, (though not that funny in hindsight), or, at the very least, not offensive (not every mention of the holocaust should be offensive, especially when it's a joke on the name of a Microsoft product). I also think it made a valid point on naming things: make sure that to someone who doesn't know the product, the name can only be read in one kind of way. I don't think my point got properly communicated though, and I'll try to prioritise clearness over humor from now on (on HN at least).

I post all my comments keeping the guidelines - which I had of course read before - in mind. Some of them seem to get a lot of downvotes, but it looks like that's just a matter of having unpopular opinions to me. If you do think my comments are bad or overly offensive (by HN standards), I'd like you to point out specific examples. Believe it or not, I don't like getting many downvotes either, but I also don't intend to suppress unpopular, but in my opinion valuable, opinions.
