[flagged]


Could you please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN? You don't have to change your views but we want thoughtful, substantive comments here, not battlefield stuff.

How are you dealing with weaponised flags?

I'd put more effort into posts if they weren't just removed by someone who didn't like what they said. Give than you've unflagged a half dozen of them 12 hours later.


Those are two separate questions. If you want to comment here you need to follow the rules regardless of what other people are doing.


Ok, so would you say that this post:

should be flagged?

And if it shouldn't be how are you dealing with the abuse of the function?


I'd say it's at least borderline. If you start off with a quasi-insult like "Do you know what AIDS is?", you're already posting in the flamewar style. Please don't do that on HN. It's enough to provide correct information respectfully.
