Edit: I was wrong. Leaving the post for posterity. I will reference it in my next job interview. The best part is that if you question or challenge the posters, you are likely to quickly get a sufficient number of downvotes to remove your message. I generally like the way HN is set up, but having a basic question on a politically sensitive topic get silenced has made me wonder how many valuable conversations never see the light of day.
