Are we not supposed to think about the uighur holocaust? Am I not supposed to wonder if the same thing could happen to me? I am the one being thoughtful here.

You should know that when you willfully ignore problems, that doesn't actually make them go away. Vanishing my comment is just shameful and childish. All you've demonstrated to me is that HN doesn't want any discussion of human rights abuses.

So go ahead and full-ban me Dang, if you really don't think anything I have to think or say belongs on here. I'm sick and tired of your immature, over-reactive, naive userbase anyway. If I could spit on you all through the computer, I would.

I understand that it's frustrating, but no, that doesn't follow. The problem is that the signal/noise ratio of internet fulmination is just super low. It doesn't add anything of use. It doesn't contribute to solving any problems. Maybe it provides a little relief to the person venting, but even that doesn't last, and in the meantime it damages the community. That's not in anyone's interest, including yours if you're participating here. Which of course you are welcome to do.
