  "Rudderless death cult" is just denunciatory rhetoric, and the rest of your comment contained no information either. That's what I mean by unsubstantive. Perhaps you were alluding to some important truth, but you didn't communicate it in a way that readers could learn from. It happens a lot that commenters who feel certain that they possess some important truth come to HN threads to fulminate about it. When moderated, they tend to feel like we're against the truth, but no—we're against the fulmination. If you know some truth that others don't, you actually have a greater responsibility to express yourself thoughtfully and substantively, because if all you do is vent, it just discredits that truth further for others who don't see it yet. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20truth&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
