"fall in line" is exactly what HN is about. Someone once quoted an old article that used the word "oriental" to describe Asian people, and someone on HN said that was highly offensive. I replied and said based on multiple conversations I've had with Asian friends I don't think it's an offensive term.

Well it turns out Scott the HN mod ultraliberal from San Fransisco thought that was reason enough to shadowban me forever on HN. That's the game here -- agree with Silicon Valley/San Francisco liberal politics or be banned.

You weren't shadowbanned: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12703655. That was after many violations of the site rules and several warnings.
