I am saying "downvoting to disagree" is not a formal criteria on HN.

  Not sure what you mean by 'formal' but downvoting for disagreement has always been ok on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314

    Formal as in listed on a faq. Not an obscure comment from pg. Generally I assume everyone respects freedom of speech to a reasonable degree with no censorship... and that is the general behavioral criteria I assume of any place in the united states. If that's not the case here maybe you should "formalize" it and make it clear?

      But none of the other things you listed as "correct" use are listed in the guidelines or a FAQ either.

        The other things I listed I stated are "assumptions." Similar to the assumptions I have when traveling to another foreign country. For example, I assume murder is illegal everywhere I go.

    I have an opinion which is not shared by many people here. When I express this opinion I usually lose a few points. I shrug and think to myself, these points aren't worth my ire.

      Some people really think out of the box and their opinions are often censored all the time.
