HN might be such a place even if most people here agree with you. My snarky comment critical of trickle-down[1] has been flagged and hidden when it reaches a score of 66; and the admins have threatened me with a ban. I don't mind this strict adherence to the "be kind, don't be snarky" rule, but I haven't seen it so vigilantly enforced on fumigation from fiscal conservatives, which I routinely see here. I feel like it reflects a dynamic in which flagging is used to steer a discussion, instead of improving its quality. I would be curious to see the stats on people to flag comments. Do they comment themselves? Do people agree with them? But I digress. I'm surprised your comment is still here, but that's a good sign.
