- DrDimension 7y agoHow Orwellian of you. Who taught you to be so dishonest?
- dang 7y agoWould you please stop posting unsubstantive comments? Personal attacks, in particular, will get you banned here, so please don't do that again. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- komali2 7y agoWhat's the point of accusing me of lying? Either take my argument at face value or don't bother replying.
- mieseratte 7y ago> This isn't censorship, it's someone being shown the door. Are you a moderator?
- komali2 7y agoNo. Must I be to show someone the community's proverbial door? The point was downvotes. That's how the HN community shows someone the door. HN itself shows someone the door by banning them.
- mieseratte 7y ago> No. Must I be to show someone the community's proverbial door? Speaking for the whole site like that comes off as rather pompous. Not to mention the comment is now "in the black" on points, so it's not even clear that the community even agrees with you.
- komali2 7y agoAre we talking about the comment? The one I'm talking about is flagged/dead. Yea, I wouldn't pretend to speak for the community - for some reason our OP insinuated I do by asking if I'm a moderator. What I'm trying to say is that a negative karma post has been shown the door by the community. That statement remains true from my perspective regardless if I upvoted, downvoted, or did not engage with that comment.
