Oxford Professor Is Accused of Selling Ancient Texts

Hey, dang, where are you, man? Gonna ban this guy for "ideological flamewar"?

Nah, this Dan is a founder, a YC alum with 11,000 karma points. He can say whatever he wants. At worst, he'd get a "Well, yeah, you're right, they are religious bigots, but please be more subtle about it." But he won't even get that, because no HN user with >=500 karma's going to flag his comment.

Of course, weberc2's comment is downvoted.

Nah, HN isn't biased to the left at all, dang. After all, people on both sides complain, therefore it must be perfectly balanced, right?

I replied to that comment as soon as I saw it, which was before I saw your comment here. Also, plenty of users flagged it—it plainly breaks the site guidelines.

Anyone worried about how we moderate this sort of thing is welcome to look through https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....

I'm glad to be proven wrong this time.
