Thanks! I appreciate your taking the time to do this.

Of the 10 links you listed, 7 seem to me obviously to break the site guidelines and I've flagkilled them. One, incidentally, was from an account that we banned earlier today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43042278), and another was from an account that we banned a couple days later (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42483610).

Of the remaining 3 of the 10, I disagree with you about saagarjha's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42907076. That one seems thoughtful and in keeping with the site guidelines. It does use a lot of sort-of trigger words (I counted "trans", "vegan", "left wing", "Democrat", "progressive", "conservatism", "Republican"), but surely we're not going to punish people just for using words like that.

The other two seemed borderline to me, although I confess that one was so long that I couldn't read it before becoming le tired.

> I could find many, MANY more examples.

I'd be interested in seeing them, and I hope it's clear that I mean that. I don't want to argue about this—I want to see what you're seeing.






I think saagarjhas comment is probably a transcription error on my part, copying the wrong link out of a thread that had questionable stuff in it.

I'll dig up some more. They tend to be a bit stochastic, and on various topics. (There was an article that made the front page awhile back written about pg that was written by a trans woman that was an absolute lightning rod for this, iirc.)
