Good job barely hiding your political alignment. Wait, I mean bad job.

Good job barely hiding your political alignment. Wait, I mean bad job.
- dang 6y agoThis accusation comes up whenever we make a call that isn't to someone's liking. It's a mechanical reflex, which explains why the "political alignment" we're accused of "not hiding" varies wildly with the observer. I think we all know the feeling, but it's best to catch it internally first when it flares up, so one can ask oneself if it's really true. Lashing out reflexively doesn't help anything, including your own favored cause. In this case, the reality is that I've posted things like the GP hundreds if not thousands of times, usually not on political topics (and scattered across all political alignments when they are). The principles are always the same, to the point of tedium. Anyone can see that for themselves if they want to bother: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=cherry%20pick%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22significant%20new%20information%22%20by%3Adang&dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22significant%20new%20informa...
