alt Hacker NewsFeel free to downvote or flag my comment if you personally feel that way, the mods here are pretty reasonable.
Indeed, feel free to flag this submission, and not comment in it, if you feel it is too political for HN. HN thrives because of a multitude of views, of which you are a part.
In the meantime, feel free to respond to the substance of my comments rather than complaining because I added critical context to an already-existing submission/discussion.
thanks! ya, I don't want to discuss generic American politics on HN, I get too much of that already every day, and I think the HN guidelines are good.
