You can't ban somebody for their opinion

- sbierwagen 16y agoAre you joking? HN places great importance on preserving the tone of the community. If my opinion is that all the politicians are reptilians working to establish One World Government; and I comment on every post to that effect, and submit a new post every five minutes linking on my One World Government-watch blog; then I should be banned. That opinion is damaging to the community, and should not be allowed.
- bl4k 16y agothats why we all get to vote and flag
- lrm242 16y agoBut that is very clearly NOT what happened.
- chrischen 16y agoYou'd be banned for spamming.
- run4yourlives 16y agoThat opinion is damaging to the community, and should not be allowed. It amazes me that in this day and age, we still hear stuff like this. It's not like he wrote "PATIO11 IS TEH SUXORS! FUK IM!!!". He wrote a long, thought out (perhaps not enough; besides the point) blog post and then decided to share that with the community ~ to which the community felt deserved the effort to respond to, one way or another. Who are you to suggest that opinion is both unwanted and "damaging" to the community? If anything, suggesting that people only be allowed to certain criteria, methods and train of though is what is damaging and should not be allowed.
