I can't vote to unflag things, but this really, really should not be flagged. It is just a little more important than most political garbage.

- tkzed49 6y agoOn this website, we pretend that the entire world can be reduced to a good-faith discussion between two sides with equal merit. Anything that is incompatible with this is distasteful.
- dang 6y agoThat's not true, and you'll notice also that the OP is now not flagged.
- polka_haunts_us 6y agoI just want to give the obligatory thank you dang, I moderated and eventually administrated a modestly sized sports forum for 5 years, and I didn't do half as good a job as you do solo modding this place, especially at times like this.
- tkzed49 6y agoHey dang, if you ever see this I just want to say I meant no offense to you or your efforts. Some people on hn frustrate me on occasion—I doubt you flagged it :)
- 1123581321 6y agoWhy, seriously? Those of us who care what is happening have the news and political discussion sites open in other tabs. No one who cares is ignoring current events. I think it’s just as important to flag it as anything else that doesn’t meet the rules.
- happytoexplain 6y agoPlease don't speak for so many people. I, for example, do not have such sites open.
- 1123581321 6y agoThanks. I edited to clarify that people who care have them open.
