That sounds a lot like an accusation.

I have been accused of being a Clinton Supporter, a Trump Supporter, a Communist, a Fascist, a Liberal, an American, a Russian, a Chinaman, Greek (I was talking about Cyprus), and a number of other things. I have been accused of being paid or not.

I have told everyone the same thing. I am an American. My opinions are not for sale and have never been bought.

I've told you this elsewhere, but want users in this thread to see it too. You've been using HN exclusively for political arguments for a long time now. That's an abuse of this site, regardless of what you're arguing. We ban accounts that do this. Please don't do any more of it here.

HN is for civil, substantive discussion about stories that gratify intellectual curiosity. Political and ideological is not merely the opposite of that, it's actively destructive to it. We can't have both. Users who want the latter need to realize that HN is not the kind of site they're looking for.

The flamewars you've been provoking and fueling—such as this wretched thread—are pure poison for this place.
