I like Hacker News for the lack of political content. I feel overwhelmed by the amount politics is bleeding into all aspects of my life as of late.

I would like to think that the same type of decision would have been made had your username been from the opposing political party.

I find that hard to believe, but it is possible.

Do you have any reason to believe dang would allow democratic flamebait nicks?

You should state the reason if you have one. Otherwise, you are just slinging a baseless insult.

this was not meant as an insult... this forum is just very democrat, so it would not surprise me if it had a little bias

To be specific: to your knowledge dan has never allowed any troll bait political nicks of any kind.

Additionally: you have a feeling he might allow democratic troll nicks. the strength of that feeling ranges from not surprised if to hard to believe not depending on the day.

Your evidence: claim that the forum is very democratic
