That is low man. It's like saying: "I don't care if you're right. I don't like you so I'm not listening."

But if that's how you feel, I think there is reason to like Exxon.

ExxonMobile has done an unbelievable amount of good for the modern world, which li was built on and runs on oil. Everything you have, from the food you eat at the grocery store, to the house you live in, was produced or transported using oil. Even tesla cars are built with materials that are shipped with oil. There is just no other energy store we have that is as abundant and efficient and versatile as oil at this point. Yes it's caused a bunch of pollution but I think the world is still better for it.

No, it's saying "this source is known for biased corporate propaganda so take that into account when evaluating the content".

He didn't say that. He said he didn't want their content anywhere on hacker news.

Getting a heads up that content may be biased is great. But that's a lot different from censoring it altogether.

So, you're making the argument that annihilating humans from the earth is okay.
