My guess is that the comments are "lively" enough to have triggered the flamebait detector.
- samizdis 6y agoI'd be fascinated to know how this apparent flamebait detector (assuming an algo, not a person) operates, but I note that the posting guidelines do say: . Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents. and: > Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That destroys the curiosity this site exists for. So this has probably become over-lively. Shame, though, I had been enjoying it. Thanks for your explanation.
