Users are not permitted to comment freely on HN. Step too far out of line and your comment becomes invisible and you risk a shadow ban. This site offers the most vanilla, white bread, predictable discussion of any forum I frequent. No real surprise about what this user base wants.

Your spot-on comment is already getting grayed out. Oh the irony.

If the truth hurts... downvote it so it can be hidden! Yeah, that'll show you!
