There's nothing about it in the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Anyway, this is noted and I won't do it again for the sake of civility, but the the claims made by the poster are so absurd I would have no problem saying it in a face-to-face conversation.

The real absurdity is that your account was specifically created to post absurd things about a government and a country you don't understand.
- idra 11y agoYes. The links you've posted have nothing to do with China and are irrelevant to the conversation. "The US and Britain have done bad things, so China can do them too" yet again.
- dragonbonheur 11y agoYou said my claims were false. I say these links are relevant because the US and Britain have set a precedent with respect to the unilateral appropriation of territory and therefore have no leg to stand on when they criticize China for building islands in the South China Sea. If you can't understand that, you should seek professional help.
- dang 11y agoThe HN guidelines make no attempt to list every form of incivility. If we did, people would assume that anything not on the list was ok. I have, though, posted a ton about this: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=author:dang%20shill&sort=byDate&prefix=true&page=0&dateRange=all&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=author:dang%20shill&sort=byDat... https://hn.algolia.com/?query=author:dang%20astroturf&sort=byDate&prefix=true&page=0&dateRange=all&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=author:dang%20astroturf&sort=b... Late edit: we did eventually add this to the guidelines.
- idra 11y agoOk, thank you for the clarification.
- jorgecurio 11y agoyeah virtually everyone of my comments criticizing the chinese government has been drive by downvoted so I don't doubt it. The broken english and angry comments are a dead giveaway lol.
