- ecyclopedia 5y agoDonald Trump - he's an American citizen. He was officially elected as the president of America some years back. Fine bloke! Always brought a smile on people's faces. He used to call himself the best of the best, some people considered that narcissist. I think the author is saying that this Andrew Lee bloke, is trying his best of the best to be like Trump.

- jassinpain 5y agoYea when you start like that we don’t read past the first line. So sad the next post on this was actually written well and focused on the issues. The way you started makes me glade your out because I can really see you stand for freedom of thought.
- BFatts 5y agoSome people really don't like Trump, myself included. Some people find opportunity to stick it to him - so what? I find it funny that a man who so values his notoriety is then defended for his notoriety by those same people who value that man. There are so many walking contradictions in folks who "admire" Trump.
- jassinpain 5y agoI pointed out if you want to have a real conversation on value that you don’t start by offending 50 percent of the population. Somehow you took I support trump out of that …
- tedivm 5y agoIt's always the "freedom of thought" people who are trying to police other people's thoughts.
- jassinpain 5y agoI didn’t police anyone’s thoughts I highlighted the stupidity of offending 50 percent of the population in your opening lines. I don’t care which side your on, it’s a poor way to get people to listen. I welcome his tactic as and believe it totally distracts from a important conversation.
- jassinpain 5y agoI have thought about this more and it really angers me. You need to learn what the term thought police means. I in no way called for its removal, asked it to moderated by others, I think so many people blame things they don’t agree with using terms they don’t truly understand and I am done with it. Pointing out you disagree with someone’s tactic, or you personally disengage because of how it’s written is in no way thought police. Thought police is when I tell you what your allowed to think and try to force you into my ideas. I have zero interest in policing your thoughts I do have interest in seeing content that welcomes conversation which should be the point of HN but again I reminded if you don’t think like is your thoughts are not welcome here.
- ronri19 5y agoCan someone explain why people are upset about Freenode leadership? I've read the other linked articles, but I don't understand what the reasons are.

- jtdev 5y agoIt would be great if the author could elaborate on what exactly they take issue with about the alleged "Trumpian wannabe korean royalty bitcoins millionaire".
