my first response was not at all inflammatory, it contained a well-sourced definition of freedom of assembly, it was upvoted, and you flagged it too.

But you left his nonsensical 'everyone should agree with (my naive and uninformed opinion)' take up.

Please don't moderate like that on HN.

You're clearly doing flamewar, that's clearly not what HN is for, regardless of how right you are or which side you're fighting for. It destroys the intended spirit of this place.
