Except for the first line it is a fairly interesting comment.

  Perhaps I'm missing something, but it reads like a predictable rant to me, the kind of comment that destroys thoughtful discussion rather than supports it. That goes against the kind of website we want HN to be. Of course a good paint-stripping rant can be great fun (or outraging, a variant of the same), and there are other kinds of website for that. Plenty of kinds of critique don't have this effect, and most HN users have no trouble practicing them—it's mostly just a question of wanting to.

    oh please. if it's not within the bounds of the echo chamber you clamp down on it without ever allowing discussion to form. Your style of proactive moderation does keep the site consistent, at the cost of a great deal of real thought. Frankly, I think your style is god awful. I think you're ruining what could be a good discussion site with aggressive and arbitrary censorship of opinions you don't like.
