I would be interested in hearing why my comment is being downvoted.
- MattPalmer1086 2y agoI am not one of the downvoters, but I assume it is because you make unsusbtantiated accusations of defensive behaviour about most of the Europeans on HN. It's flame bait.
- returningfory2 2y agoDoesn't this whole HN post kind of substantiate it though? The article itself was incorrectly flagged. So far I see no comments addressing the content of the article at all. I think it's completely fair to describe the response here as reflexively defensive. I do agree that my comment is too broad in implicating most Europeans. I do think the standard European response on HN is how I described it, but presumably most Europeans on HN don't actually contribute to these discussions and it's misleading to extend the point to them.
- MattPalmer1086 2y agoI see a lot of posts saying they support this kind of regulation. Not sure how you know they are all European posters, or why supporting it should be seen as a defensive stance.
