I guess you're just not aware: https://reason.com/2021/06/04/lab-leak-misinformation-media-...

I'm not criticizing them for suppressing conspiracy theories, or even idiocy, I'm criticizing them for getting it wrong. Sure, it's fine if things are subjective, but it's also fine when hell rains down on you for being so seriously wrong.

I don't think my 13 year old nephew could've stated it any better. Thanks for your enlightening contributions during this thread.

I don't know what Reason's history is but you can look up the story at any other news outlet. The facts are the same.

Be better.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar hell. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

We've had to ask you this before.

The kind of flamewar comments you posted to this thread will get an account banned on HN, so please don't do that. We want thoughtful, respectful, and above all curious conversation here.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Edit: I took a look at your recent account history and saw two relevant things: (1) a lot of good comments, and (2) no other cases of flamewar. Thank you! That's great, and should make the current issue easy to avoid in the future.
