alt Hacker NewsI don't agree, and there are many counterexamples in this thread alone.
People who are passionate about a divisive topic often feel like the site/moderators/community are hopelessly biased against their view. The people with opposing views feel exactly the same way—which, ironically, becomes the one thing they can agree about, although they disagree about the direction.
This is ultimately a function of how the passions work, so I don't believe there's much we can do about it.

you are avoiding the actual topic in question and try to divert discussion into different direction.
flags are been abused and you don't do anything about it, short of "show me wrongly flagged comment and i'll unflag it if i think it was flagged wrong"
can you openly admit that flags are been abused and misused to silence opinions that people disagree with ?
if you can't agree with such a trivial statement, I don't think there is anything to discuss here.
ps. obviously after i made 3 comments i am throttled and cant post this comment
