A few of the HN mods are SJW or at least their sympathizers; clearly not @paulg but a few of the younger members.

Mods didn't flag that post. As for 'SJW', when people accuse us of moderating HN ideologically their logic typically goes like this:

  1. I agree with X.
  2. An X was flagged.
  3. Mods did it.
  4. Mods are anti-X.

There's more than one non sequitur in that.

It is not about mods flagging it, is about not un-flagging it (guilt by omission). But sure, there is a chance that what you said is true.

Curious; who are the HN mods?

'dang and 'sctb.

Thanks. From notgood's comment I thought there was like a committee of them.

Those are the public ones.
