This is ridiculous. At the time of me posting this 'felipepiresx' has 19 out of 49 comments in this thread.
- amyjess 11y agoAnd many more that were flagged. Also, same with goerge1980, a brand-new account less than an hour old as of this writing (most of his comments are gone, but a few are still floating around).
- felipepiresx 11y agoWell. Our comments are being flagged because our 1st amendment rights to have a contrarian opinion don't apply to internet forums like this one full of north americans.
- ISL 11y agoIn Brazil, shouldn't Article 5 of Section IX of the Brazilian Constitution, Title II apply? It is a human right to speak freely, but it's not requisite that anyone provide a forum. While it's not perfect, HN does a pretty good job of supporting well-reasoned and factually-backed dissent. Support arguments with compelling evidence, and you'll quickly find supporters. You're being downvoted and flagged for attempting to dominate the conversation.
- felipepiresx 11y agoWhy is it ridiculous ? I cannot comment on a topic that I'm passionate about ? Freedom of speech only works for people like you ?
- Grue3 11y agoIt doesn't even matter what they post. Thanks to HN "feature" that stories with more comments than upvotes get buried, the mere act of posting a lot of comments ensures that this story gets off the frontpage very quickly, essentially censoring it. That's the real goal of these accounts, not changing anyone's opinion.
- felipepiresx 11y agoWhatever man. You think i'm a Russian paid poster. It just shows the level of ridiculousness that the anti-russian hyve mentality has reached.
