"(...)Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."
One of the topics mentioned in linked article is "sexual discrimination". How is it suddenly not related?
"The reason we have guidelines like this is that these discussions are totally predictable, and therefore devoid of curiosity. They generate a lot of het-up agitation though, which is destructive to the community."
Saying the truth is destructive to the community? Is this some kind of censorship?
- dang 7y agoThe topic is a survey about bullying. Turning that into a yet another internet gender flamewar is certainly an example of what that guideline asks you not to do. There's always some tangential point in an article that leads to one of the major tire fires via a hop or two. The guideline asks you to have the self-control not to be triggered by that, and avoid triggering others in turn. HN is moderated. You can call that censorship if you like; that word is used in so many different ways that at this point it just expresses a feeling.

You are not even correcting me. It's seems that you are marking my comment because you are told so, not because you can show any failure in my logic. Shame on you.
