Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? We're hoping for a better quality of discussion than this, and (especially) than what it leads to. Case in point: see below.

There's been many criticism of the US government here and I never see anything flagged or removed, I would consider that nationalistic and provocative under the same guidelines. I just don't see why the China discussions are removed.
