Perhaps you should calm down a bit instead of constantly policing HN for thought-crime.

There is a difference between moderating and constantly shutting down everyone that doesn't agree with your strict views of the world (i.e. what you've just did) while giving a stage to the ones that propagate your ideology (i.e. those flags you keep removing from opinionated and non factual posts).
