Please don't post flamewar comments to HN. We ban accounts that do that—I've banned a thwack of them in this thread already, and we've had to ask you about this more than once before. Fortunately I didn't see other cases of that in your recent history. Please stick to posting within the site guidelines and things will be fine.
Not for nothing, but isn’t the post they were responding to equally flame bait? If you’re of the opinion that she had serious faults, claiming without evidence that she was unfaultable is just provoking a fight
claiming she had serious faults is fine. Blaming her and the monarchy for the execrable state of the modern United Kingdom is not. She was the monarch, but Parliament had primacy de jure during her reign. The sad state of affairs in our country is despite her, not because of her.
She had flaws, but far fewer than the various ships of fools inflicted on us by our electoral system over the past decades
Yea but the original comment wasn’t nuanced like that. It was just a declaration of opinion which seems like flamebait to me. I was more bringing it up because only blocking one side of a flamebait war ends up looking like tacit approval of the other side, which then incenses people into even further flamewars
