And of course this gets flagged. HN is very strange sometimes, sometimes even worse than the loathed reddit mods (or maybe it's just the overly-american audiance here). Maybe if this gets posted a Github gist with the changes alone it won't get removed?

Suppression of opinion was the realm of dictatorship et al

Now it is the realm of HN

That's not to say I have a better way forward, but I don't think it is good to shutdown difficult conversations to appease the most offended -- that is arguably the group that should have least sway over discussion

But by empowering 'flaggers' and 'downvoters' we give them the most control...
