Another entry in the 'Black' villain line, along with BlackStone, BlackRock, BlackWater etc ... really makes you think the world is run by a thinly veiled cult of evil comic style villains.
As usual, terrible quality moderation. This post doesn’t cause flame wars and you missed like a dozen in this very thread that were posted before this comment.
As for missing other cases of religious flamewar, you may be right, because (as I just explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48524299) we miss most of what gets posted to HN. We rely on readers to bring the worst posts to our attention.
But I'd need to see specific links to be able to say anything, and readers would also need to see specific links in order to make up their own minds about your assessment.
As I said elsewhere in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48522679) it applies the same to any religion. We've banned many accounts over the years for flamewar against Judaism (since that seems to be the one you're asking about).
I realize it's hard to see bad comments failing to get moderated and not feel like the moderators must have a secret agenda about the topic you feel strongly about. But the reason is simply that we don't see everything. We can't read even 10% of what gets posted to Hacker News, and we mostly don't read the threads in sequential order.
In other words, if you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.
I like your style. The entire thread is one giant israel hate-fest, there are clear comments where people call for annihilation of israel that stay up for least 12 hours but my comment is bad? Is it not a fact that islam punishes apostasy with dearh? How is such a cult even deemed to be a religion? What educated self respecting person would try to be tolerant to islam?
I know programming/mathematical analysis are not your forte but have you given the least attention to the kind of people that upvote this nonsense in groups and flag every opposite viewpoint?
Half my comments are indeed non technical because that's what half your website is. Why do you even allow political threads, have you, even with your bay area conditioned mind, ever found anything intellectual in there? Stupid question i guess
Id seriously suggest you take a break and go for a 10-day Buddhist insight meditation. You'll stop making completely vacuous yet long and smart sounding statements and get a sense of what actual world is besides bay area bullshitting.
I don't even know who would work such a job? Like you do realize that pg is a dumb idiot who "suddenly realised" Microsoft is dead in 2008 "while having tea"? Just last year they were the second company to 4T valuation before even apple.
The thread does have bad comments, but I didn't see the ones you're talking about and I just looked through most of it. If you want to supply specific links to the worst cases, I'll take another look.
However, other people breaking the site guidelines doesn't make it ok for you to do so, and pointing the finger at others is a pretty poor way to respond.
Edit: I took another look at your account's commenting history, and you've really been breaking the site guidelines badly and repeatedly. Normally we'd ban such an account, but I'm not going to do that right now. Please fix this, though, or we'll end up having to ban you in the future.
