Ideological flamewar comments are not ok on HN and we eventually ban accounts that post them. You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36185109). If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

I can see how you have flagged three people who opposed to it with reasonable comments, but you did not flag the original page-long Communist copypasta.

Which makes me think that, amusingly, the HN moderator dang is an open communist.

It's pride time of the year, after all, so whom am I to judge.

Flags are mostly from users, although I probably flagged some of the ones in this thread, like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36195570, which were blatant rule violations. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36178586 wasn't nearly as blatant a violation, though litanies of links supporting pre-existing agendas do eventuate in moderation scoldings.

I replied to that commenter here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36207435. We're equal-opportunity moderators, but I agree with you that dang being a secret communist (let alone an open one) is pretty amusing.

Thank you for replying - that did clear the things up.
