Please stop using HN for political flamewar.

People disagreed, this isn't a fucking flamewar. This site allows literal misogyny, but two people having a heated disagreement is a fucking flamewar?

I’m not sure how I’ve done that. I was asking a question; I’m trying to understand a position that many seem to have (being in favor of illegal immigration) that seems unfathomable to me.

The HN mods seem to have some form of issue with our disagreement and have downvoted and flagged this entire thread.

Just an FYI: Members can downvote and flag. Attributing that solely to the mods is inaccurate.

Occam's Razor. When the mod steps in at the same time as the entire thread is downvoted and flagged, that's more than a bit suspicious.

Well, I downvoted your above comment, in part because it unfairly accuses the mods of corruption on no real basis, basically. And I'm not a mod.

So, on your side, you have some fancy term for "inference" to justify your ugly accusation. On my side, I have solid evidence that not all downvotes are from the mods because I know what I did.

So there's that.
