Your indifference to the troubles and hardship of people that have to deal with racist is nauseating. You think ignoring it and calling it by a different name is a good tool to fight racism?

You have no idea what psychosis does to you do you? Also you know nothing of my stance on racism. But I can clearly read how much of a bigot you are.

  Its a bit ironic to be called a bigot by someone who is upset that I refuse to praise a racist.

    Again you are putting words in my mouth. I'm upset of your lack of understanding for the mentally ill.

      I'm going to assume that you didn't see the comment I posted warning you that we would ban you if you continued this flamewar. Please stop now.

        yeah yeah, I didn't see it. I'll refrain from engaging him any further.

        That's a subtle way of sticking the blame on the other person. This is not about "him". It's about respecting the community and its rules. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

        It wasn't supposed to be subtle. Arionhardison has been aggressive and insensitive. I have engaged him in good faith. I accept that this turned in to a flamewar (and that it was a flametopic all along), but I object to that I have been name calling or attacking him. What he has written is clearly bigotry. I have been a constructive poster here for years, but I rather take my ban now than taking a warning for talking against hate.

        > you didn't see the comment Aside: occurrences like this are what amaze me at (a) HN's lack of a built-in system of notifying users when others reply to them, or at least a linear view of all replies; and (b) the resulting reliance that people either discover and use third-party scrapers, or be experts with the F5 key and the Mark-1 eyeball.

  I don't know why someone flagged the parent to this. I didn't really agree with him but I don't think he violated any rules.

    It was a low effort ad hominem post. Not really something we want on HN.
- arionhardison 8y ago
  @tombert its because HN is full of cowards - they see a view that challenges their beliefs and makes them see another side of things and they run away, flag, downvote etc... i'm used to it. Its just the way things are if your black, unless I deicide to get down and praise a racist I am in violation of the implicit rules of HN and that is why I am flagged, down voted etc...
