When you said "I find those threads tend to be dominated by people who believe..."
> Of course what I was describing is a microcosm
Now you're contradicting yourself. Something that dominates cannot be described as a microcosm of the whole.
The left bias I describe _is_ what dominates most threads here. You can act like something doesn't exist, but it's not going to disappear from reality.
When did I ever claim what I was describing was the majority? The entire point of my comment was to point out that bias is relative. Of course what I was describing is a microcosm. So is the "left wing bias" you described upthread. Hacker News consists of numerous microcosms. Of course you only consider one side to be an echo chamber, and yours to be "legitimate critiques." Which apparently I'm ignoring, despite you not having provided any, of anything. So it goes.
I won't belabor the point because I suspect most of the effort you put into my comment went into copying and pasting it.
