Why is this reply being downvoted? It is merely informative.
- doublesCs 6y ago> Why is this reply being downvoted? It is merely informative. Because this is HN. Expect some guidelines-lawyer to cite some section that was technically breached by that informative reply.
- all2 6y agoIt shows the actual words, which are hard to spin. If we keep what was done vague, we can spin it any way we please.
- koheripbal 6y agoThat's interesting. I interpreted it the exact opposite way. That looking at the words - they don't seem so bad, so the liberal-minded HN users downvoted to keep the details away. Funny how personal bias can twist perceptions.
- augustt 6y agoFunny indeed. Maybe he meant shooting as in shooting footage! What a rascal. Those darn liberals can't expect the president to not be ambiguous about using lethal force every day!
- all2 6y agoI think you and I are thinking the same thing: if the source is available, then the reader can form their own opinion.
- dntbnmpls 6y ago> It is merely informative. That's the problem. When facts/information doesn't align with one's agenda, some people have a terrible habit of trying to have it hidden/banned/removed/etc. You would think in hackernews of all places, we'd upvote the comment to see exactly what trump wrote so that we can decide for ourselves when it was "glorifying violence". Sadly, many here don't want that to happen.
- bilbo0s 6y agoI think because it just restates what's in the link being discussed, when the link is not inaccessible nor behind a paywall. There are a lot of people who think that's bad form on HN. That's my guess. People trying to force everyone to "read the articles" on HN.
- ttonkytonk 6y agoI appreciate someone posting what was actually said because I have limited data.
- _prototype_ 6y agoHN is quickly turning into a leftist SJW and socialist haven, similar to Reddit
