Negotiations fail to come to a close due to both parties, not one party. Saying one party is "stupid", has been "hurting people" and "got nothing" is far from the full picture. Both sides are attempting to &quo

> CoCs are meant to Stop right there. You have no authority over what a person chooses to adopt as a "code of conduct". They can be for whatever purpose they choose. It is up to others to accept them or not.

So a user who is, in absolute terms, much more politically active and damaging to this site than I am, is permitted to post freely, as long as the majority of their posts are decreed by someone to be "not for ideological battle"?

My use of the site is far more extensive than my posting history. My primary use of this site is for intellectual curiosity, as you say, and as the guidelines permit. Is "Use of HN" limited only to "Posting on HN"? Throu

I use this site primarily for seeing aggregated news related to tech, not for ideological battle. When I see hypocrisy, misconceptions, lies, and faulty logic being spread and promoted, when some rational and opposing voices are routinely s

It's easier to destroy than to create. And there's a lot to be gained for a few when you take down one of the engines of progress of a society.

I agree. I also feel that the majority of people have a low bar for that, like you say; I don't suspect most people consciously try to subvert constructive discussion, but I do know that's a tactic employed by a small minority.

Not that my opinion should hold much weight, but: I truly appreciate your candor. (As a general statement,) I, and many others, only wish to have reasonable, rational discussions. It's impossible to do that when there exist people who

You're being hypocritical. The parent comment by "olliej" presented absolutely no argument for their statements: > That said the primary “imbalanced exposure” seems to be due to evicting people who simply spend their time

Thank you for indication of the showdead feature. That's useful. Though, though his/her comment wasn't removed, the fact that I have to turn on "showdead" in order to see it says something. That being said, remarkEo

HN is profoundly biased in the comments that appear--and those that are "squelched". It's pathetic. Example: 1 hour ago, user "remarkEon" posted something that was flagged, and then removed entirely, but before it w

Wrong. You're arguing a point the parent poster didn't make. The parent poster stated: > Who chooses the special magic groups that are to receive the forced empathy? The _giving_ (and thus on the other side, receiving) of empat

Because people agree to it. There are a lot of new and ignorant programmers now, more than there ever were. They will agree to terms that are "not balanced in their favour." Programming is being commoditized by a limited number of

Really, what do you expect? What do you expect when so much of the popular message is for people to get involved in programming, and to do so while giving away the fruits of their labor--to join open source projects and the like? I see many

If you dismiss every data point (anecdote) you come across, one at a time, of course you can eventually say there's no pattern: you dismissed all of the data.

Headlines and articles essentially identical to this one have occurred a number of times throughout the years, like you point out, largely focusing on one person or a small group of people. I'm unsure how much viewership and engagement

I don't think it's ridiculous. Assuming that one component of "intelligent behavior" is the ability to think "further into the future," that is, not purely beholden to feeling good in the here and now, intellig

Beneath the popular messages that everyone should be respected, that all members of certain groups should be treated well, hides the fact that there are people who do true evil, who exploit and deceive, on a daily basis.

It's rare for internet denizens to hear a voice from the other side! And it's a welcome reminder.

What seems to be going on, I think, is largely a one-sided story. There are many people with bullhorns who speak, for whatever reasons, but who seem to go largely unchallenged. Whether that's due to unawareness, lack of critical though

I believe what you describe. I believe there are plenty of people who have the problem you describe--to a significant extent. And of course it's not limited to who you hire, but also who you associate with, and how you treat people. Ma
