Partisan? What the hell are you talking about? I'm apolitical, I don't vote, and my comment was a plea to see this from a different perspective. It's bi-partisan. And how the hell do I use the site PRIMARILY for politics? I must have tens of thousands of comments here. I made a plea for rationality in the face of over-reaction and fear. A comment on a post about politics. I even said I was glad this was organizing the opposition to Trump; was that the problem?? This is nuts.

My comment wasn't addressed to you, but to hash-set (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13169884 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13169884).

  Maybe when you reply to comments it might be worth using the username, so that if the comment is killed people with showdead=off know you're not replying to them.

    With showdead set to "no", for me the comment still shows up as "[flagged]" with its header, which should make it clear. Does it look different for you? (Tangentially, I do think the comment threading display could be improved, but looking honestly at my own designs, I know I'm not the one to make specific recommendations.)

      Ah, right, thanks for that clarification. There have been a few similar threads in the past where people haven't seen killed comments.

        We changed the UI a few months ago to (try to) prevent those.

  Sorry about that, the mobile view doesn't indent the threads very much and I thought you were replying to me; my bad.

This echo chamber is dangerous. Partisan politics == everything you don't like to hear. Ha!
