Look this isn't a forum for general advocacy of Marxist political thought, it just isn't. That's off topic. Whereas it IS a forum for discussing the biggest tech court case of the century. The site was not established to give equal time to all political ideologies in all threads, which is what you seem to be implying. This is all in the Hacker News guidelines. Let me paste the relevant part for you since you don't seem to know about it: Hacker News Guidelines What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

  About those rules. Any high-profile court case is by definition crime/politics, and all over TV news. Have you recently mentioned the name of any famous person(s) in your comments, offering opinions and critiques perhaps? But that's another way of saying "celebrities". So I'd say you're unambiguously failing on 4 of these criteria. In terms of forming teams and bitching about the refs decisions, not much difference between court-cases and sports either, neither are big on inspiring curiosity. But hey.. rules are for other people right boss? And stop telling people to "look". You look. Because listen, I know that phrases like this one are well-loved by a certain type of person. Shows who's the adult in the room, and also frightens subordinates into silence, right? But understand me now when I say that it's much too transparent when used too often. Realize that there are other adults in the room, and when you toss out too many imperatives too fast then it's easy to see how much you want to control people as well as the topics under discussion.

    You are just throwing ad hominems around, distorting facts in order to attack me, and contributing nothing that other people would want to read at this point. The fact of the matter is that the Google case is relevant to this forum and random political baiting is not. I hope it is actioned and your slop is dealt with as it detracts from the quality of this community.
