This account has been shadow-banned after nearly 8 years -- a few of my comments were increasingly down-voted and flagged for upholding scientific evidence, challenging totalitarian dogma, and calling out unhinged liars as well as Luddites. The HN moderators didn't bother with warning or banning the science deniers, liars, advocates of totalitarianism, and Luddites with all their "substantive" contributions. Well done.I've noticed that comments (not just mine, by many other accounts) opposed to socialism are often flagged and get a warning they will be banned, while a malicious parent comment that was ideological and offensive but pro-socialism or pro-some-absurd-leftist-cause gets neither flagged nor warned (nor banned).
