What you are saying is "people who disagree with me are wrong and I need to chase them all over the internet (I hope it's online only!), while they are busy doing unrelated things, and tell them so until they learn" Imagine someone who is earnestly sure that they did their homework and that it is you who is wrong (e.g an enthusiastic maga supporter) doing this to you, and you'll know exactly how you come across. And how it makes one feel about whatever you are selling.

> What you are saying is "people who disagree with me are wrong and I need to chase them all over the internet Nope, I don't say that. The HN people did vote on a topic they found important, and it organically came on top. That means that, yes, there is 1 out of 30 topics on front that you might want to skip because you consider yourself informed. There is no way we are chasing you. Victim play. The way you react shows how effective the toolbox is of those that are currently dismantling democracy. Don't take it personally, we are all targets. It has costed me personally quite some time and reading to understand how the dynamics work, and how our culture has been prepared to tolerate the nonsense. Victim play ("that transgender hurts me"), disinformation, spreading contradicting messages so media is able and will relay confusing info without putting it in a broader context under the guise of "neutrality" and so that the populace can pick the lie they find most convenient, weeding out dangerous people (experts), sado-populism ("look, that immigrant both steals multiple jobs and simultaneously only collect benefits"), etc. They depend on you to give consent. You can read the other topics.

  It doesn't matter what they voted for, this is not a space for that. It's in the rules. It's there for a reason. As a sidenote, it's funny cause it's the same reason you are alarmed, because someone is disregarding established rules after being voted in. Anyway, you keep missing the point. You keep giving me political arguments, some I might even agree with. You think that the key difference between you and my example is that you are right and they're wrong. Surprise, so do they! I think there's no difference. You are just like a guy posting Breitbart "revelations" into a knitting reddit. It doesn't matter if some of the knitters happen like them. Please go away.
