All: HN has been seeing a dismaying increase in nationalistic flamewar. This is not allowed here. I know it feels important when you're caught up in the intensity of such feelings, but it is not interesting, which is what HN is for. Worse, it has the effect on interesting discussion that tank battles have on a city park.

If you don't have something thoughtful and substantive to say, please don't post until you do. Drop denunciatory rhetoric—it's tedious and evokes worse from others.

Remember that the community is divided on divisive topics and that the person disagreeing with you is probably not a spy, but just someone who disagrees with you.

It's incredible how when its not China, you are always "its up to the community to decide". But when it comes to China, you go out of your way to freeze discussion. People like you are weak ass hypocrite pussies when it comes to China, you should be ashamed of yourself. Dan G you pussy ass communist appeaser, shame on you.

"Always" is a strong word. Usually it just means you noticed some things that you dislike [1]. The problem is that we're all far more likely to notice such cases and to weight them more strongly, so before long we've sample-biased ourselves to "always". The other side feels the opposite "always" [2]. Same mechanism in both cases. It always feels like the mods are against you, just as the refs are always against your team and you're always the one who gets the speeding ticket.

I completely agree with your response but I have to say I found it hilarious.

Faced with

> People like you are weak ass hypocrite pussies

the retort was

> "Always" is a strong word.

This is HN. :D
