You are basically saying that if people think you are pro-israel you will be downmodded - that's disgusting.
But that's the entire point of this post--that's what happened right here in this thread! People are downmodding because of contrary opinions, whether we like it or not.
By the way, I'm not pro-Palestine either--I would say I'm neutral, but it's more of a case of "I could care less, and it helps me avoid wasting time on useless flamewars."
- ars 18y agoI know you recognized the problem. But why didn't you resist? Why did you add that? By the way, I'm not pro-Palestine either--I would say I'm neutral, but it's more of a case of "I could care less, and it helps me avoid wasting time on useless flamewars." I don't need to know your position on Israel/Palestine in order to decide if I should up or downmod you. You are too used to reddit. You had a good point, and again here, you should have stopped there. Don't feed the people downmodding because of contrary opinions by posting your opinion if it has nothing to do with your point. Yes there are some people doing that, but I think most HN's are not. Trust that they will do the right thing, and don't encourage people who will do the wrong thing.
