Sorry; I know that you work hard to ensure that HN remains a safe space for white supremacists, mysoginists, and other bigots. I hope I didn't undo your toil by briefly making one such person very slightly uncomfortable.
It is clearly important to PG, sama, and you that HN be a place where hateful people with power can leverage that power, spread disinformation, and make others feel unwanted, so long as they do so using a thin veil of polite language. You do excellent work in achieving that goal.
People use the same logic to accuse us of being communist agents and "totalitarian liberal thought policemen" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20438487). It always feels like the mods are against you.
Please drop the denunciatory rhetoric when posting here. It is tedious and does nothing for your cause except alienate people. It's what smart readers come to HN to get away from, regardless of what they agree with politically. Everybody here disagrees with some bits and agrees with some too, but that doesn't mean they want to spend their days reading boilerplate.
I think it's fair for there to be at least one place on the internet that isn't suffused with ideological copypasta. That doesn't make me a white supremacist misogynist bigot nor a totalitarian liberal thought policeman—nor a centrist milquetoast, to cover that base also.

Holy shit your arrogance is off the fucking _CHAINS_.
Not only have you failed miserably at that goal (this site is comically predictable with it's politics; and it's also trivially easy to game); but your head is so far up your ass that you think you did something that nobody else did.
Wow.
You are a much worse and much stupider person than I thought you were; and I already thought you were nothing but an absolute fucking useless sycophant who is hoping that moderating this site will eventually result in pg/sama giving you a role that has carry.

You may not owe pathetic snowflakes better, but you owe this community better if you're posting here, because we're hoping not to explode: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....
