You can say that those aren't his words, but... his platform again states he's calling for the President to execute two people.
> I am beyond tired of people making excuses for public threats of violence from authoritarian right-wing actors. It isn't helpful to any discourse to pretend words don't mean what they mean anymore.
Fuck you, dang. Go ahead and ban me. You're a really fucking shitty moderator, and you allow fucking garbage political threads like this to go with one-sided, bad faith, bullying trash from people like AaronFriel. But, OOOH GOTCHA ISOSKELES, YOU SAID "LYING" WHEN MAYBE HE JUST DIDN'T KNOW. Fuck you. And fuck Hacker News.
It's fine to say that another comment is false, especially if you then add corrective information. It's fine to say that it's misleading, if you show how and (again) add corrective info. But to say that another user is lying crosses a clear semantic line: it imputes malicious intent, i.e. not just that they're wrong but that they know the truth and are intending to deceive. That we don't allow. Surely it's not hard to see why.
I also had comments flagged for saying someone was arguing in bad faith.
