I don't know dang? I am not sure the commenter could have got his point across in a more reserved and less flame inducing way? Are you simply saying that the topic is so dangerous that we are simply not allowed to even talk about this?
- dang 9y agoIs that the strongest plausible interpretation of what I said (per https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)? You've passed over the primary point. The GP sort of comment can't be evaluated context-free. I wish it could! but the problem is harder than that. When people create accounts to practice race war or gender war or whatever, they're violating HN's rules even if they appear to be technically complying with (some of) them. The spirit of the site is good, collegial conversation, not political battle. Ideological talking points poison that. So yup, surface civility is a necessary thing, but not a sufficient one to avoid getting moderated here.
