Dang, I appreciate you moderating HN and trying to keep things civil and on topic. I agree my tone was perhaps not the best. However my point still remains, though I could have articulated it better and frankly it's shared by many Americans outside of the bay area.

Your asking me to filter or silence my voice and displeasure of the dirty underbelly of the bay area and its omnipresent hypocrisy. My main complaint is that both sides of arguments are not free to discuss on HN, and it seems that more traditional and conservative ideologies are shutdown, moderated, and displaced, while extreme liberal ideas are celebrated. We all have our inherent biases and leanings, but as HN moderators it seems unfair to selectively target moderates or conservatives.
