Understood, thanks and accept my apologies. I have some feedback - please make exceptions when discussing fact based discussions around privacy when it is not tending towards flame wars, especially related to Chinese influence and erosion of privacy. I can see why this can lead to flame wars but that's where you should step in and moderate. I just read your links to people getting harrased if they are Chinese, that's not cool.
- dang 7y agoI think my comment addresses this, but perhaps you were replying to an earlier version, or perhaps I wasn't clear enough. What you posted was trending towards flamewar, even though you didn't intend it that way. Telling moderators to "step in and moderate" isn't sufficient to solve this problem. For one thing, we don't come close to seeing all the material that gets posted—there's far too much. We do step in, but we also need users like you to understand the problem a bit differently. If you're going to comment on an inflammatory topic, you need to make sure your comment is substantive, i.e. contains solid information and not just grand claims. And you should be careful to narrow its scope explicitly to what the information supports. Fortunately that should also be enough to make it clear that your intent isn't just to post pejoratives about other people.
