By the numbers, bathtubs consistently kill more americans than terrorists have in the last several decades.

It's not about the numbers, it's all about not being an absolute disgrace while handling the topic.

If your political beliefs change based on how their presented I don't think they're very firmly held.

Your above post was awfully inflammatory for someone not interested in discussion.

Did the moderators take a vacation or something? This whole thread is a raging flame war.

There are only two moderators, so I hope they can be forgiven for being late on a thread here or there.

I suggest you do as I did and flag the offensive flamebait comments. You need to click through to each individual comment (the nnn hours/minutes ago links) to see the flag link. I think you also need some minimum karma/reputation but don't know the specific number.

Never did figure out, are dang and scbt doing this on some kind of part-time / volunteer basis?

The New Yorker had a really nice article about Dan and Scott a few weeks ago - recommended reading!

https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/th...

From the article: "Gackle and Bell are the only Y Combinator employees working on the site. In addition to moderating it, they maintain its technical infrastructure."

On the flagging, you may not see anything happen for some time after you flag a comment - or sometimes you may find that your flag was the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" and the comment immediately changes to [flagged] [dead].
