I don't think it's difficult to become inflammatory when people are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to paint what Twitter/Elon did as justified. You're not arguing in good faith and I see that as far more harmful for HN.

That is simply your view, and I don't agree. Again, its no big deal, people can disagree. People are attempting to moralize the issue due to a personal vendetta against Elon (such as the poster I replied to).

You can disagree all you want. Doesn't change the facts about what happened. Stop lying and trying to defend Elon.

Personal attacks are against HN guidelines. I think we're done here. Goodbye.

Pointing out that you're lying isn't a personal attack, but okay.

It's become really obvious that you're allowed to do that if you're hating on Musk/conservatives.

And it's really obvious why, too: https://i.imgur.com/taGzsZP.jpg

Since HN is basically the nerds from tech, it makes perfect sense.

Are there any Oracle employees that can comment on the hivemind?

You can even see it before you read it. Comments like yours that are entirely reasonable, and trying to protect what HN is supposed to be in good faith are being faded out of existence because you corrected misinformation that they prefer over the truth.
