Does it make anyone else uncomfortable to see a fairly high number of freshly created accounts that only comment on China related threads? Specifically (read the comment history for these accounts):

This, if accurate, is quite reflective of all online forums of discourse unfortunately.

The game is rigged.

Please see my reply at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21199884.

It's really, really important not to jump to conclusions about other posters. When people do that they usually make serious mistakes and sometimes quite regrettable ones, such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21195898 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19403358. In the latter case the user really was hounded off the site.
