I am expressing my point angrily as an humanist rant. Avoiding nationalism is exactly what I would like to see here. Good for you to call me out on my manners

  This comment sort of sinks back into what we're asking people not to do here. I know how easy it is to have perceptions like this, and how painful they are. But it's just not true that we only "wait for an anti-american rant to remind the community". Since it isn't true, it isn't necessary to perceive HN this way. Instead, why not help it to have less of the bad sort of comment? If you or anyone run across a comment breaking the site guidelines and not getting moderated, the likeliest explanation is that we just haven't seen it yet. We can't come close to seeing all the comments, but we do look at all the ones that people tell us about. You can either flag the comment (as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) or email us at hn@ycombinator.com. Emailing is best in egregious cases because then we're guaranteed to see it, and probably a lot sooner.
