It's kinda ironic that my comment gets down voted, isn't it? Either you agree with the Liberal views on HN or you're a troll.

- dang 9y agoI assure you the opposite trolls see it the opposite way. It's a cognitive bias. Everyone with strong ideological views sees HN as lined up against them. Plenty of previous discussion about this at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=0&dateRange=all&type=comment&query=by:dang%20cognitive%20bias https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=0&date.... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12422870 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12422870 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13110004 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13110004
- caiob 9y ago@dang Sorry, but isn't that the whole point of a comment system? Get people to discourse about their POVs and ideas? According to your logic, both sides should refrain from opposing each other.
- dang 9y agoWithin the site mandate, sure. HN's mandate is the gratification of intellectual curiosity. That requires civil, substantive, non-repetitive discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html
