We always talk "around" the story on HN. The topic is about censorship of views and excluding and silencing people because of their views. That means talking about the views too.
I am just a non-US outside observer so I give this to you as food for thought but your post looks like an attempt to silence views you don't agree with. You didn't downvote but went on the attack. Rather than a derailing tangent, its actually a case in point.
If it genuinely wasn't your intent then just take this as a friendly message that it is the appearance so a different approach might avoid this in future.
- krapp 10y agoI wasn't trying to silence views I disagree with. I want to promote discussion. It's just a matter of maintaining the signal to noise ratio - when it comes to political discussions here, there is already too little of the former and too much of the latter, and too many people grasping for the low hanging rhetorical fruit. But copying and pasting a comment isn't discussion.
