Your post is toxic in itself.

"similar to" and "pushing to" are weasel words.

I skim EVERYTHING. And in light of this, anything fishy is easy for me to just ignore.

HN has strong moderation. I only use two sites daily, both of which are heavily moderated. If something is really offensive, I trust the mods to deal with it appropriately.

This is just a honest view, with which you can agree or not, presented emotionless, referring to facts. How can this post be "toxic in itself". Maybe I'm too old (gen X) and culture has shifted dramatically without me noticing, but critical thinking should still be considered a virtue by everyone, isn't it?
What's the other site?
Political. Don't want to start a flame war here. Let's just say that it's a bit better, IMO, at ousting trolls.

Did I just start a flame war? Sorry. :-)

moderation acts only on bad worded posts, but not the meaning of them
