You can’t have your cake and eat it too, dang. You’re asking us to refrain from politics in the same breath in which you’re sweeping any sign of dissent under the rug. No wonder your house is on fire! This whole damn country is on fire, and you don’t fight fires with more gasoline.

- dang 6y agoThat's not what I'm asking. I'm asking people to stick to the site guidelines. The rules don't stop applying when a topic is political—on the contrary, they apply more. "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." We ban accounts that consistently disrespect those rules and ignore our requests to correct this. What else would we do? The alternative is to allow a minority of flamewarring users to destroy the entire commons for everybody. As for 'sweeping dissent under the rug', that's not what we're doing at all. People with dissenting views and people with non-dissenting views both need to follow the rules here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
