Even by the abject standards of this shitty thread, your comment here crosses into name-calling and personal attack. Posting like that is a bannable offense here. Would you mind reviewing the guidelines and taking the spirit of this site to heart?

I know the rules, and I don't mind getting banned. It's easy to make a new account. I am sick and tired of toxic insane leftist morons getting all the non-leftists banned / deplatformed everywhere, just for having opposing views. This backwards third world shit needs to stop.

I think it's clear to most readers, separately from their leftness or rightness, how badly your comment broke the site guidelines. Why not just take them to heart and follow them? It's mostly not that hard, and will have the nice side effect of making your posts more persuasive.

The guidelines state that I'm not allowed to post unkind comments. These people deserve harsh criticism, therefore I am happy to break that guideline.

The guidelines aren't that way because those people necessarily deserve better, but because the community deserves better. When you break the guidelines like that, you're damaging the community you're participating in. Worse, you're damaging it where it's most vulnerable. HN is only valuable because smart, thoughtful people choose to come here.

Come on man. That's a childish thoughtless response. If you actually read my responses to these nutcases you will agree that THEY are the ones damaging the community by mindlessly supporting this third world dark age of censorship.
