Let me ask you this - to put a fine point on your policy - under what circumstances would discussion of psychotic behaviors (not pretenses to a person's diagnosis but discussion of behaviors as psychotic or possibly indicative of psychosis or other forms of insanity) be permitted?

Because if your rule is a blanket rule that all such discussion is illegal here, then you have created a safe haven where the most destructive personalities in the world are the most protected here. And they just happen to be people your employer is directly invested in and bound to. Hm.

Do you see the problem?

I think it's pretty obvious that the policies may be constructed to appear neutral, and perhaps they were conceived that way, but structurally and materially what they do is prevent and downright squash legitimate dissent, evaluation, and critique of horrible things happening in this world, of which YC is a part. I would very much like to see that truth acknowledged or the policy amended to prevent the deliberate silencing of fair critique of people like Altman.

If your attitude toward this issue is that the language policing supercedes this concern, then that is tantamount to an admission of being part of the oligarchy's apparatus and, in whatever small way, hacker news has become an arm of the fascist regime. (I suspect this is the case but I invite a direct response.)
