HN doesn't tolerate any kind of superficial political story, and this one, about a campaign tweet, is more superficial than most. But your contributions to this thread are a good illustration of why people reflexively flag stories about this controversy: HN is an engine for generating conversations, and we've seen what kinds of conversation we get when it's fueled this way.

You clearly don't speak for the people upvoting this post.

[tptacek]

All 12 of them.

[smoothjazz]

Well it got flagged and was never allowed to hit the front page so I’d say 12 is pretty good. There’s only one of you saying this.

[tptacek]

Mmm. Well, people can make up their own minds about what's happening.

[smoothjazz]

Except they can’t since it’s censored. Are you adding anything to this conversation? Seems like you’re just complaining and being negative.

[tptacek]

No, it isn't.

You don’t speak for all of HN. You’re also very biased a this topic and have added nothing but derision to this thread.
