Can we just ban/flag these comments already? They're so obviously false and their motivations aren't sincere. Political colorization of other people's choices because you don't like it, with a thin veil of political grandstanding masquerading as insight, on top of needless hyperbole is just unhelpful. Honestly, I get that you like systemd. I understand wanting to not talk about it anymore. But not wanting other people to be able to talk just because they disagree with you is ... not a compelling perspective.

No where did I state that.

>I understand wanting to not talk about it anymore.

I didn't say that.

>But not wanting other people to be able to talk

That's certainly not my motivation. How dare you even claim that is something I want.

It's an unsubstantiated comment that doesn't offer anything to the conversation. It provides no context, nothing to argue against, no examples, no solutions, but it's allowed because it fits within the HN userbase's opinion. An opinion often grounded in narrative and not facts.

It uses conspiracy theory accessories and grandstanding. That's it.

Your comment isn't clever because it just reveals you couldn't be bothered to read what was being stated, and then even had the audacity to prescribe positions to me that I never stated. And certainly have never stated on this board.
