I've read the thread. I also looked at your post and comments history.

You've made your point over the past few days. Many people and, most importantly, dang seem to disagree with you.

At what point would it be better to drop this topic and move on?

I'm drunk so don't expect total coherence.

My hn name is based on the fact my original account got banned for stupid reasons. And once or twice in the years since, I have had an email with dang or a comment thread.

My hill to die on is good faith. I think dang does. I think any system is imperfect, but that he does a good job of changing bias and filtering noise.

To be a bit flippant: i see plenty of right wing chatter i find ludicrous, but it isn't deleted. Which is good, and proves the point. Dissenting views presented with a different message, without insulting users, and said in good faith should never be deleted.

I don't think moderation here has a political bias. They avoid by banning all controversially political content. It keeps the signal to noise ratio high and avoid a lot of strife. I've adopted this policy for a few relationships in real life. That said I do hold strong political views that sometimes land me in close to anti social behavior.
