It's not hyperbolic in any way. It's a simple, sober, literal explanation of how the Chinese censorship apparatus functions. I have no idea why you're bringing up electrical interface standards; they seem completely irrelevant to questions of civil rights to me. The W3C standards (which are not RFCs) seem barely less irrelevant; we are talking about what viewpoints people are or aren't allowed to hear, and the social processes that determine that, not file format evolution and the priority order of CSS selectors.
To read flagged comments, you have to turn on "showdead" in your HN profile (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=nindalf). I assumed you knew that (you've been using the site for ten years, during which time that hasn't changed), but I see that I was wrong.
Your initial comment in this thread accused me of lying. If you want to engage in a discussion (which I take to mean something like "a worthwhile discussion"), that is not a good way to do it—particularly when the accusation is not just unproven but, because it's false, unprovable. Not only does it tend to antagonize the person you're calling a liar, it also tends to undermine the presumption of good faith people might otherwise extend you when you claim to value worthwhile discussion.
As for "winning", for me, "winning" in a discussion is when I change my mind about something.
But of course anyone can say that. Actually doing it is harder. I do it publicly on HN about once every two days, and I specifically write an HN comment saying that I was wrong about something about every four or five days.
I've just read through the last month of your comments starting from https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=nindalf&next=4277862..., 28 comments in all, and have found zero instances of you admitting you were wrong about anything, zero instances of you saying you learned something from the people you were talking to, and zero instances of anyone thanking you for your comment.
So I think the ball is kind of in your court to show that you're "the kind of person who can engage in a discussion."
