Holy hell. How do you have a life-threatening disease that puts at you risk of germ infection, costs $250,000 a year to treat AND manage to survive homelessness

Holy hell. How do you have a life-threatening disease that puts at you risk of germ infection, costs $250,000 a year to treat AND manage to survive homelessness? Tragic. I'm sorry you don't live in a country with real health care. Holy hell why did I get flagged? She wrote a huge blog post about needing help and isn't getting it?

    I was reacting more to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23180680 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23180680 from earlier in the day. But actually I think I overreacted here. You shouldn't have added the flamey swipe about countries and health care, but the intention of your comment was clearly to express support to someone, and I should have weighted that more. Sorry! I've unbanned your account.

  I must say that I don’t see the alledged “flamebait” in freefriedrice’s comment. What is it that you see that I don’t?

    "I'm sorry you don't live in a country with real health care" broke this guideline: "Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents." On second look, though, I think I mis-moderated and have unbanned the account.
