Earlier you said this rape incident "feels like an incident that doesn't justify a post on HN".
Now you are backtracking by saying "This thread hasn't been removed, has it?", welcoming discussion, and you "don't feel strongly this should have been flagged".
Glad you changed your position. It's the right one.
- IkmoIkmo 12y agoWhat? You keep ignoring my points and making a silly one in return. I'm STILL saying it doesn't feel like this incident justifies a HN post. Why? Because it's an incident. And you ignore my points on that and just seem to want to win the point that this 'shouldn't have been flagged', while I've never flagged a thread in my life. You're arguing against someone else here, not me. Feel free to go back and read my post and see if you disagree and think there's something systemic going on. (it's an interesting question. Look for example at the police brutality topic in the US, it's generally not interesting to most to hear about a white person getting shot, and a story like that without any interesting angle doesn't have a place on HN, because it tends to be an incident rather than when it happens against minorities, e.g. black minorities, as that is usually systemic, which is interesting and is justified imo. That's kind of how I look at this story, and I still feel it's an incident.) Doesn't mean I'll flag it though, again please don't bring that up again. Tell that to someone who actually flagged this thing.
