Can we please just spend some money on social welfare and our people?


Can't even talk it about it, it's against the guidelines for being political. Asking what we will use this for is similarly political. The only nonpolitical act is admiring the war machine, apparently.


HN hosts plenty of political comments and threads. We just ask that it (a) not be the primary thing people use the site for, and (b) that discussion stay respectful and within the site guidelines.

I know dan, thanks. I'm pointing out the bloodthirsty cowardice of the site and its culture. The capriciousness of moderation is a topic for another day.


I don't quite understand that, but I suppose mutual understanding might be too much to hope for. I'm still glad you're here!


In that case maybe you should stop rate limiting me.


We don't rate limit users based on whether we like them or not! It's about whether they follow the site guidelines or not.
