You claim I don't do anything to help people with addiction without evidence, Does the dark side of the moon not exist because we can't see it? First of all, you don't know shit. Second of all, I don't have to do anything to justify myself to you. Third of all, I've lost more friends to addiction and have helped more addicts recover than you have had birthdays. Shut the fuck up when grown folks is talking.

  Noted. Funny though that you chastise me after my response to personal attacks but never the rule-breaking personal attacks in the first place. Most of the time I let the personal attacks slide, but then those threads you seem to never see (because I never see these moderation responses when I do). My responses on the other hand will always be crass enough to get your attention. So in either case I guess I just have to eat shit. Great community that you've got here. I get that you can't be everywhere in every thread, but it sucks.

    It always feels like the other person started it and did worse. This is a super strong bias which we all seem to have (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=%22always%20feels%22%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). We can't allow that feeling to drive commenting here, because it's a recipe for a downward spiral (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=downward%20spiral%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). And of course it's also entirely possible that we didn't moderate some comments that we should have, in a thread where you got scolded instead. I can tell you for sure there's no personal reason for that—it's random. We just don't see everything that gets posted. We do try to see everything that gets flagged, but even that is too much sometimes. The fact that you're using words like "always" and "never" makes me think that the above-mentioned bias is an issue though. That's how it feels. If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is simply that we didn't see it (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=likeliest%20explanation%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...).
