If your argument is that a speech isn't bad because "nothing happened, he most likely forgot about it" regardless of its content, intent and the authority of the person who made it, well, I'll leave it with you to think about what you just said. The article mentions plenty of other examples, such as tweets from Chinese state-sponsored accounts spreading COVID hoaxes, accounts of other convicted extremists and many others. But I think the same argument applies to them as well probably. That HN guideline's intent is to make the comments shorter by not asking a redundant question. Thanks for pointing it out, I shortened my comment exactly like the guideline said and removed the redundant question.
