- dang 3y agoYou'd be surprised how often people make that argument to justify breaking the rules - e.g. that they were just calling attention to someone else's badness. From a moderation point of view, that issue is orthogonal. You can "illustrate" without breaking HN's rules, and that's fine. But if you break the rules, we have to moderate, whether you were "illustrating" or not.
