Your comment is deceptive. It cherry picks a quote from a comment who's entire point was "don't accuse people in public; if you have a real concern, mail hn@ycombinator.com".
People disagreeing with you isn't evidence.
It's that the collateral damage of firing off such accusations indiscriminately is too great for that to be ok without evidence.
deal with them not by calling names but by making better arguments.
These are all things the flag killed comment did.
You should also pay attention to who your cherry picked quote was aimed at. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9114355
But we will do so by looking at actual data—something that isn't an option in the HN threads themselves and would mostly be off-topic there.
This is the only part that supports you view, and it's a baseless assertion. Someone did collect evidence and present it and it was on topic.
