It looks like you've been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. We ban accounts that do that, because it destroys the intellectual curiosity that is the reason HN exists. If you would please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the spirit of this site more to heart, we'd be grateful.



Why are his comments "idealogical battle" and the mainstream comments just comments. Clarify that for me, thank you.


I'd be happy to, if you give me a reason to believe that this is a good faith question and not a hostile cross-examination. That game is no fun, and only leads to more hostile cross-examination—exponentially more, in fact, as each entry produces multiple replies. It is also a bad thing for HN, soaking up time that could otherwise go into making HN better.

(The short version, though, is that (a) turning this into a race war about white men is obviously off topic, and (b) when people comment like this, they're essentially copying pre-existing talking points, which is neither thoughtful nor conversation.)
