Repetitive submissions on divisive topics—and who/what is more divisive right now—invariably turn into flamewars, so these flags are consistent with HN's intended purpose. I've been posting a lot lately about how we (mods) handle this sort of situation. If you didn't see those, here are some starting points: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43051836 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43051836 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42978389 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42978389 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42911011 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42911011 If you (or anyone) take a look at those and the links they point to, and still have a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.
