Libertarian world philosophy is totally bunk (if that's what you were referring to). I down vote most of that because it's generally ridiculous.

- pbhjpbhj 12y agoJust that opinions off the norm seem to be too readily moved to opacity -> 0. The idea that government shouldn't freely use taxation to fund projects that apparently only return a mild satiation of curiosity is a valid opinion, for example, and was apparently expressed honestly, without malice. I'm not settled on where I stand with that (I tend towards cooperative and communist ideals) but I certainly don't stand on the side of "those expressing these views need to be censured" (nor censored as it happens); which is what appears to be happening. It's possibly that I'm being over-sensitive towards the failings of the HN UI as much as anything.
