Disappointed to see so much bald-faced lying in the comments. I really don’t understand why the most egregious liars aren’t given the boot.

- rc2634 5y agoBecause HN wants to treat its users as adults who can judge for themselves whether they should or shouldn’t believe something they are reading? Why do you want to censor and stifle discussions that could possibly convert the person telling the lie because of some misunderstanding to change their views and accept a different perspective?
- moistly 5y agoNote my use of the word “egregious.” Thank you. The egregious liars have no desire to change their views. They desire to misinform and distract you, to waste your energies, to obfuscate truthful and valuable discussion. They are poison to informed discussion.
