Agreed. But Hacker News should do something about all of the anti-bitcoin and anti-anti-nuclear ideologies running around in here. I don't really mind it that

Agreed.
But Hacker News should do something about all of the anti-bitcoin and anti-anti-nuclear ideologies running around in here.
I don't really mind it that much but it'd be nice, it's really the only 2 extremisms I've experienced here, all other subjects are discussed in a fair manner.
- beambot 5y agoI appreciate informed discussion about bitcoin & nuclear, as both topics are highly relevant to the technical, business, and hacker roots of HN. They seem distinctly different from, say, "anglocentrism" @dang was calling out.
- danlugo92 5y ago> discussion There's no such thing as fair discussion about those topics here.
- Hallucinaut 5y agoWhat does "fair" mean in this usage? If it means one position attracts a lopsided balance of comments either for or against then surely that's always going to be the case? Otherwise what is your proposition, don't state any opinion unless you find a counter opinion commenter to match with? Lots of folk here are pro-privacy and lots of folk are anti-bitcoin (and some of them will be the latter because they're the former) so I don't understand how you'd extended your position in a way that leaves HN with any value.
