This thread is especially bad though. So much flagged and dead. I feel like some true extremists descended on this one, writing both inflammatory messages as well as flagging everything they don’t like.

Every time I've written something that goes against the liberal narrative that makes the front page on HN, it's flagged in under 5 minutes.

Even when it's about tech or San Francisco.

That happens in reverse too though? I see lots of liberal comments flagged that are perfectly reasonable (if not necessarily productive)
