Very well put. This is my biggest concern as well. HN mods prevent resolution by punishing participants in back and forth discussion for being part of a “flame war”. It is an incredibly coarse and un-nuanced view of debate.
- dang 7y agoMost back-and-forth discussion here doesn't get moderated. The ones that do are not the kind that usually end in resolution.
