- LyndsySimon 9y agoDo you have an example of that? My experience on HN is that there exists a small minority of users who might shout you down, but I've never seen or heard of a user being banned for discussing something like this in good faith.
- jshevek 9y agoI've seen it claimed, without substantiation, that anyone who argues against the fashionable position can't possibly be doing so "in good faith" - because the unfashionable position itself is declared to be a bad faith position. I've seen this repeatedly on HN.
- torrent-of-ions 9y agoWell the very comment you replied to has been detached for being "off topic".
- micahbright 9y agoI've seen several comments flagged for no reason - what they have in common is that they cogently refute liberal ideology
- sctb 9y agoYou get banned on Hacker News for violating the guidelines, and it's possible to share contrary opinions without doing so.
