Which is what, exactly? Giving someone who compares disagreements over software to literal conspiracy theories a platform? The content doesn’t even fit your guidelines for intellectual interest. It’s a hateful, harmful rant with no substantive discussion. It’s literally flame bait, as evidenced by my showing up, but I don’t see you making any moves to remove the post despite it being voted up as much as my comment was. Nope, just “we are trying for something else” when someone doesn’t tow the line.
But you’re right, I’m the problem for responding to a fawning endorsement of the author with a very moderated opposing view. My bad. I’ll do better on the next account.
Of course the article doesn't meet HN's guidelines, but that's no reason to break them yourself. These are two separate issues.
Commenters routinely underestimate the amount of flamebait in their posts by 10x or more—it always feels like the other people are doing worse. No one would objectively describe your posts in this thread as "very moderated".
