Given that Dang has decided that exploring the negative aspects of monarchy are "ranting" and "malignant", it is hard to imagine how you could get an comprehensive assessment of the institution on HN. A curious person can probably find that sort of information elsewhere.

No, I said that about shallow-indignant internet comments, aka flamebait, which are what we don't want here. Thoughtful critique is a different matter—though the bar for "thoughtful" on this topic has to be pretty high, because it's so full of bombast and an internet forum is the worst genre for that.

I don't care about monarchism or anti-monarchism, nor would I ever take a position about anything like that in a moderation comment. The moderation comments are always about the same thing—avoiding tedious repetition (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32771818). The irony is how tediously repetitive they are!
