alt Hacker NewsPlease don’t try to deflect from your own disrespectful conduct with this kind of “are you going to...?” goading. We don’t moderate on the basis of such charged qualitative judgments as “fake news”. We uphold the guidelines. If someone is wrong, point out how they are wrong, in the conversational style the guidelines clearly call for. Doing it in this sneering and hostile way only weakens your point and trashes this place.

You can still moderate comments without insulting people, you know? You accused me of deflection for...asking you about the parent comment? You could have still made your point without that accusation. Or maybe dang has set the bar too high that this is new to me.
