Injecting politics?

  How the fuck am I getting flagged for this?

    How was a comment that says “no one deserves to have a spouse die” injecting politics?

      You conveniently left off the controversy seeking part.

The “And yet...” after that part, which basically inverts the overall message and is suggesting Cutts comes closer than most to deserving it, is injecting a negative personal judgement; it's not overtly political, but given the nature of the negative commentary Cutts has received, when he has received negative commentary, on HN, it's not surprising that it would be read as injecting something that could broadly be described as politics.

        Ah, I didn’t read it that way. I read it as “nobody deserves it, but unfortunately it happens nonetheless.” If that’s how you read it calling it out for politics feels very off. I doubt I’m the only one that read it that way.
