There is a beautiful irony of an anonymous account complaining about ad-hominem arguments.

Other users downvoted and flagged your comment until it died. Now you can only see if it you have dead comments visible.

Ah, yes, I see that now. That's a shame - quite annoying really.
I don't get it. I don't really see what it is I wrote that warranted getting "flagged". I just said I wasn't keen on maintaining an account and, with that, a HN reputation.
I'm assuming it's against the rules to copy/paste my comment again in response to someone else so I'll just leave it, but that kills the want to participate.
Ironically, I'd bet that had it been a Facebook algorithm moderating the content (instead of just anybody having the power to censure/flag) my comment would still stand - and in this case, that'd be more fair to "free speech".
We are quick to plaster a company as "evil" and yet mob rule worries me more.
