How can the parent topic be something to do with the topic but this comment is not? How can one talk about the Kashmir conflict without discussing it's history? There's regularly discussions about various political/controversial topics in HN without them getting shut down. You are really showing your bias here, dang.

The parent comment had at least a tenuous connection to the topic of internet shutdowns, while yours became unhinged from that completely and was only about the politics of Kashmir. Both were bad, but yours was worse for HN for that reason. This has nothing to do with which sides you and the other person are on. I don't care, nor even look at the comments for that information.

It always feels like the mods are biased. The other side feels the mods are biased the other way. In reality we know nothing about Kashmir; we simply know is that HN is not a place for people to have flamewars about it.
