"You are, of course, entitled to your opinion."
Thank you, very kind of you. I thought you rather assume that I am not entitled to it. Thus you try to subdue it by voting it down and telling me not to submit stuff like that. You are really very generous.
"Ignoring my comment on the healthcare post (which I only did because you submitted a bunch of them in a reasonably short space of time and the HN gimmick was too good to pass up)"
Are you some kind of weird stalker or something voting everything down of mine or on a particular topic? Get a life then. Btw. I wouldn't need to resubmit stuff when people wouldn't block it from being seen. People who like to decide what others are allowed to see should work as censors for China but stop policing democratic communities.
"the vast majority of submissions and votes, is very tech startup oriented"
Yes, indeed it is, which sometimes gets a little boring. HN is not strictly a niche topical community it deals with everything hackers might interest so please let the hackers themselves decide, here 6 of them did. I don't see a problem with the occasional non-Ruby, TechCrunch or startup article.
"You are free to disagree"
Thank you again for this generosity but it's not something you allow me to do, I have the same right to voice my opinion here as you do.
P.S.: Ever since I'm on the Web (1997) people like you always shouted "off topic". In most cases where they succeeded the places they did it on died off due to their topical limitations as the subjects evolved.
- lucumo 17y agosigh Just because people disagree does not mean they censor you. Furthermore, freedom of speech is not guaranteed on this site. Basically, you can only say stuff on pg's terms and his terms include the flagging process available to all. 6 people upvoted, more have flagged it. That's not a single person "subduing" you, that's people deciding they don't think this submission is the kind of stuff they want to see on HN. That's their right. But as a "social media power user" you knew that right? Right?
