That's a clever insinuation, and since you've had many HN accounts in the past, and used them to abuse the site in similar ways, I'm going to be a notch less charitable than usual and conclude that you meant this and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32771519 as an innocent-sounding smear.
well aren't you the one now making big insinuations? I feel you are invading my privacy and making me feel unsafe so I guess I will use a VPN next time, thanks for making me aware.
I don't think I'm alone with my assessment. I've seen threads where comments were downvoted and flagged when they were critical of certain YC companies, and I can't recall 100% is why I suggested the likelihood of the same pattern. I didn't say YOU removed it but the people in that thread for whatever reason felt justified to censor those comments.
> we flagged zero comments in this thread and unkilled a bunch of comments that users had flagged.
Incorrect, you've removed my original comment which you completely took out of context and just assumed malice. This is a pretty aggressive stance, and it just reinforces what I've pointed out.
"hey i think theres censorship"
flagged and removed
to the outsider doesn't it seem pretty clear? you should at least allow some discussion around this, maybe I was wrong, maybe I'm not but claiming you removed zero comments is incorrect here. It only adds fuel to the suspicion.

For anyone worried about this kind of thing: what the commenter is insinuating is, in fact, just what we don't do. Here's tons of past explanation about this: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....
In particular, we flagged zero comments in this thread and unkilled a bunch of comments that users had flagged.
