  > Which is why I'm highlighting the account for pushing a 100% political agenda. Fair enough, as far as I'm concerned. My main purpose was to (hopefully) give some context and explanation of why some people might write responses like that. I'm not sure though, if the intent of that account is to push a political agenda, rather than just feeling compelled to counter what appears (to this person) to be another political agenda. If you'd read my responses, you will find that many of them are political in nature as well. However, that is not because I like to campaign for politics. Almost always it is because I notice a glaring (implied) political bias in something and feel a strong need to point out what is missing there. Personally, I would rather discus technical aspects. But for many topics, it's usually other people who are far more qualified to do that. So I often stay silent on those. Consequently, it can easily be construed that I have to be some political agent (or worse). But in actuality it's mostly the nature of the content here on HN (and how it changed over time) that has leads to these results. That said, of course that account could have been made for purely political purposes. I really would not know.
