Makes sense, sorry. Was still making a sarcastic point that it's objectively difficult to be strongly against regulating things with basically no upside, though I understand that you can be against regulations in general.

I didnt take issue with your point itself, but rather with how you seemingly implied there to be people whole break HN guidelines, where it explicitly says in the guidelines to contact the mod team for such cases.

I guess the sarcasm just flew over my head there. Thanks for the civility though.

Eh, frankly this is kind of ‘Reddit cares’ ing what I think was an insightful and amusing comment.

But I might be biased due to my extensive shares in Testudines Petroleum Inc.
