It's strange that yummyfajitas' post is flagged and killed, presumably for asking a legitimate question in a sarcastic way that rubbed some biased and oversensitive moderator the wrong way.
Contrast to this post, which accuses of him of being "one of them", presumably part of a conspiracy to spread apologia for poor food choices on a hacker interest forum!
An absurd claim, insulting, illogical, of no service to the conversation, but remaining alive and upvoted. We can see further content-free insults in replies to this post. This is the first time I've seen a post killed for reasons that are obviously wrong. In addition, they are wrong in a dangerous way, killing mere rhetorical sarcasm while allowing actual insults, of negative worth, to run wild.
- DanBC 10y ago> oversensitive moderator the wrong way. Moderators didn't touch his post. His post was downvoted by users, and flagged by users. I'm not a mod, so I don't know this, but it's pretty clearly what happened. If you think it shouldn't be dead you should click the timestamp and then click the [vouch] link.
- cynicalkane 10y agoThanks, I didn't know about the flag/kill procedure or the vouch link.
