Hey root_axis, I see you pop up pretty frequently on threads like this where people really don't understand the consequences of forcing companies to host speech and removing their legal protections if they decide to moderate. Personally I've seen the same dialog hash out so many times it's become exhausting to even reply to them.

I just want to thank you for continuing to fight for what's right.

haha, probably a sign I am spending too much time on HN, but it does surprise me to see this suggestion pop up so often, especially on this site which happens to be a quintessential example of moderation as part of the production. Imagine what dang's workload would be like if he had to hand review every one of these comments!
