It seems like certain folks using HN are intent on turning what used to be a great forum for tech discussion into the next r/politics. Please, don't. Keep your militant, divisive discussions on Reddit and don't pollute the discourse here.

I think that HN was a function of scale, and now that's probably gone forever.

If one likes to continue living in a democracy one should not use votes to make somebody disappear. Not under any circumstances.
