This type of response has no value and should not be posted, here.

If you wanted to _provide_ links to said information and be helpful or provide a factual counter-argument, that would be wonderful. It not only benefits the person you're replying to, but also the rest of the HN community.

Otherwise, this type of response simply raises red flags of evasion and lack of knowledge.

I did in another comment in this thread. Also this topic is already on the line so putting in too much content and information would run a foul of the political leanings and bias of a large part of rest of the HN community resulting in mass flagging of my postings...
I did, in another thread about Cloudflare and my comment got flagged so take that as you will.
And I think you don't have the slightest idea what the commenter you're pretending to reply to, is actually talking about.
pretty sure I am fully informed...

> "the rhetoric on the Kiwifarms site and specific, targeted threats have escalated over the last 48 hours to the point that we believe there is an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life unlike we have previously seen from Kiwifarms or any other customer before."

> "Revolting content alone does not create an emergency situation that necessitates the action we are taking today."

> "While we believe that in every other situation we have faced — including the Daily Stormer and 8chan — it would have been appropriate as an infrastructure provider for us to wait for legal process, in this case the imminent and emergency threat to human life which continues to escalate causes us to take this action."

Ok so we want to go down that path, where every single one of those statements by CloudFlare was proven to be wrong....

Just a start, and with out getting to all the later issue around the GoFundMe, and several other things...

I am fully informed on the issue, and how CloudFlare caved to social pressure and refused to stand on principle, there was no "emergency situation"
