Alright. Fair.

I just went back and flagged this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40565668

  I mean histrionic is a pretty accurate description of Musk's own persona. You get what you give.

“Elon bad therefore my tantrum is justified” - I’ve seen that countless times and never a peep from you.

I wrongly assumed you saw it. You are right it wasn’t flagged. This happens every single Musk thread. Very hard to miss.

I’ll once again diligently report and not take bait. I take you at your word.

I’m not an Elon defender at all but these tactics don’t belong on the site and it has to stop already. Enough.

Of course, those comments just as terrible and repetitive. From a moderation point of view it makes zero difference whether the high-order bit is yay or boo.

Maybe it "has to stop" but that doesn't mean it will stop. People won't stop behaving like people. All we can do is moderate what we see, as I mentioned above. Fortunately the community sees a lot more than we do—so if users bring to our attention posts that need moderation, it extends our range.
