You're right this is HN not 4chan, because none of the things you said have actually happened here and people can easily have good respectful debate. It feels like you're attempting to use this as a way to silence debate around the country of origin rather than anything else
- flanked-evergl 2y agoIt did happen: https://archive.ph/KT4q8 https://archive.ph/KT4q8 and to be quite frank, that is just the most egregious example and this thread is anything but respectful debate with statements like "I've taken to using it because i feel uncomfortable even naming them a lot of the time" and implying that HN is somehow afflicted by institutional corruption.
- dang 2y agoI think you misread that post. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41071644 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41071644. Btw, you don't need screenshots of HN comments. Anyone with 'showdead' turned on in their profile can read the original: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41066729 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41066729. All: if you turn 'showdead' on, please don't forget that you did so, because we sometimes get emails from people asking "how can you possibly condone $horrible-comment appearing on HN?" when in reality the account has been banned for years.
