My friends who cheated in interviews are getting promoted

Can you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments and taking HN further into generic ideological battle? Regardless of how right you are or feel you are, it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Fortunately it doesn't look like your comments have been dominated by this, but still, we've had to ask you this several times in the past. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

I usually don’t respond to mods - and honestly after taking a step back, I usually begrudgingly agree. But if the purpose is to spark conversation that doesn’t devolve into tribalism, I think my posts have from the number of replies without name calling on either side and dispassionate debate it has had.

I also have gotten about as many upvotes as downvotes.

But really? Going back to 2020, 2019 and 2018?

Sure, we tend to cut people a lot of slack, especially if their comments are a mix of good ones and bad ones, and it sometimes takes us years before we ban them.

If you'd please just not post any more generic ideological comments and/or flamebait, that would be good.
