Mods please ban this user. Textbook anti Semitism.
- Stratoscope 7y agoJust a suggestion, what seems to work best here is to simply flag the comment and move on. No need to post a reply asking the mods to ban the user and explain why. As you can see (if you have 'showdead' enabled), the offending comment is already flagged and dead after only 15 minutes. The mods do pay attention to these flags and will take it from there.
- thundergolfer 7y agoI think the limitations of the mobile app I use for Hackernews hindered me here. I do remember looking for a report/flag option.
- Kaiyou 7y agoPurdue Pharma is related to the Sacklers, who are Jews. Is pointing out Jewish heritage anti-semitism?
- kranner 7y agoHighlighting Jewish heritage when it is not relevant in this context, thus insinuating that it is relevant in this context, is anti-semitism.
- Kaiyou 7y agoSince it's not the first time someone pointed out some "evil doers" do have a Jewish heritage, it seems to become a pattern, and thus interesting to know. Founders of Google and Facebook have a Jewish heritage, too, for example.
- ewe3 7y agoI think most Jews are horrified by the Sacklers. As a Jew, I think they should be behind bars and their wealth confiscated to fund treatment programs.
- wglb 7y agoemailing the mods is the best way to get their attention about things like this.
