A dissenting comment that is wrong is a bad comment and deserves downvoting for being wrong. I'm not saying it is wrong, but expecting that democracy means all

  At the very least it does mean not suppressing opinions that you consider 'wrong'. This is not a discussion on a technical or scientific topic. This is not black and white. In fact, and since someone mentioned the American nationality of HN, the lack of subtlety and the need to see everything in black and white, right or wrong, is a common 'criticisim', so to speak, about Americans.

    > At the very least it does mean not suppressing opinions that you consider 'wrong'. true! > This is not black and white. Potentially true, but I feel you're fogging the issue (something that happens a surprising amount of time in these discussions involving china). I distinguished between dissenting comments and bad comments. While that's not utterly B/W it's actually pretty clear. > In fact, and since someone mentioned the American nationality of HN, the lack of subtlety and the need to see everything in black and white, right or wrong, is a common 'criticisim', so to speak, about Americans. Ah good old racism! And it is racism BTW. Americans are crude, stupid and gunslinging morons. Well, I've met a very few like that, very few indeed. Can I make some obnoxious and unfair generalisations about the chinese? You're OK with that I take it? I'm a brit BTW.

      The downside of freedom of speech is what one has to read, sometimes..

        That insinuation that I'm uneducated addresses none of my points. So how about replying to the given issues.
