It is alright. Happens to the best of us. Apologies for being harsh. Just sick and tired of seeing leftwing propaganda on Hacker News. Especially against India.

It is alright. Happens to the best of us. Apologies for being harsh. Just sick and tired of seeing leftwing propaganda on Hacker News. Especially against India. Hence created a throwaway account just to protect my identity but still voice my counter. Did not expect you to own up to your mistake. Thanks for doing the right thing. A lot of the international audience here don't know Indian political context and gauge whatever is shown on Western mainstream media to be the reality of things. But when local Indians who know regional language also contribute to that propaganda it pisses me off big time. That is why I was harsh in my comments. Apologize again for being rude.

- throwaway_s1234 5y ago> "Everyone I don't like is a leftist" Did you change your comment from something to do with Trump to this? I chose to ignore your original comment because it did not add value to the discussion at hand. Maybe you have a grudge against Trump that you are trying to insert into a discussion on Indian politics. But at least I did not downvote. By making this edit you just proved my point. The fact that you had to change your own comment shows how it was heavily downvoted by your own peers. There is a very narrow line of thought that is appreciated here on HN. Anything that goes away from that narrow line of thought gets downvoted and flagged. Congratulations on experiencing it firsthand.
