They're called guidelines not rules or commandments. People violate them all the time and get away with it and I'm pretty sure that's why they're called guidelines. There's one person moderating here and that's dang. I've had plenty of pushback for both the left and the right I've got no shortage of karma.

Kinda new on here but am loving the bare bones feel to the forum. The karma bit in my previous comment was added as a sarcastic aid. I personally don't care much for gaining karma. Thank you for this extra context. Very helpful.

It's the last place where curiosity is not only allowed but encouraged to flourish. It's a special place. I figured you were joking but there's been a lot of green handles around lately and they may not get it. I hear there can be a massive culture shock coming to HackerNews so sometimes calling out the obvious can be helpful.
