      Edit 2: since there’s no consensus on this I’m just going to reify that fact via the trailing-question-mark trick and call it a day.

      Since killing != killed, your comment already shows that the title is misleading.

      (That has a beneficial side effect btw: not having my own opinion about a story makes it easier to not moderate according to my own opinion. I still do that, or try my best to, even when I do have an opinion—but it takes more ATP.)

      danny, please log the fuck off

        “You see, if I don’t …[pausemassive bong hit]…get involved, right? If I don’t get involved …[pausewalks to table, grabs a keg, slams it in one go]… then I by default can’t be subjected to the problem! [does line of coke off side of now-empty keg] And this way, I can always be perfectly neutral! [coke kicks in] This is how I manage to make HN be so central to everything!”

        trailing-question-marks: the consensus bypassing trick anarchists don’t want you to know?

          Nice. I got some restriction for being too sarcastic about Elon and his sycophants, did dang get you yet? It blocks me from posting for a while if I do several at once. I just quit using the site shortly after that.

              For everyone? That’s idiotic. It’s killed all my desire to engage, because I’ll want to respond to someone, hit the wall, and just leave for several days. Eventually the several days seems to have become forever. I thought that was the point after dang specifically told me to “be respectful.” If it’s for everyone that’s completely idiotic.

              I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. The site is not about having good conversations, but getting youths to risk doing a startup in order to fill Paul’s pockets.
