Quite typical for the mods to delete this. After all, wouldn't want word to get out that YC's political friends are crooks.

The only thing moderators did to this post is turn off the flags on it so it would go back on the front page (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12173595). We did that in response to emails: polite emails, I might add, making the case for the article and the thread. Had you written a polite email instead of posting a drive-by (and completely bogus) attack, you could have contributed to that outcome yourself.

One good thing came of this. When I read your comment, it occurred to me to add "Presume good faith" to our provisional list of new HN guidelines.
