Sorry, it’s just that the original comment is so completely nonfactual that I cannot attribute it to anything other than naïveté or ill motives.

I do think that the original post should also be warned against political flamewars, because if a post like that goes unreplied, someone might think it’s true without questioning it.
- dang 7y ago> I cannot attribute it to anything other than naïveté or ill motives You've articulated this perception nicely. We all feel it, but it's a cognitive bias that we project onto others. I've been trying to convince HN users of this for years: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20opposing%20view https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... I did reply to other comments in this thread, but in general it's too high a bar to expect mods to reply equally to all violations, for the same reasons that cops can't give speeding tickets to all speeders: they don't see all of them, and issuing a ticket takes a lot of time.
