Of course. But then advertise yourself as such, not as a bastion of free speech and authentic conversations. To me that is admitting your side of the argument

- simonh 10y agoI agree to the extent that this is about arguments, but this largely isn't about arguments though, it's about threatening and abusive behaviour.
- CaptSpify 10y agoThis is what drove me nuts. HN doesn't at all claim to be a free-speech area. And that's fine. In fact, I'd argue that it's a great way to keep everyone focused, and helps keep the trolls out. But I've never seen anywhere that HN claims to be about free speech. Reddit claimed that title for a long time, even when they were clearly censoring things. Feel free to tell people to fuck off. There's nothing wrong with doing that on your private site. But don't turn around and tell people you are a free-speech site while doing so.
