Would you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait like this and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21367020? You've been posting like that, in fact, for months. We ban accounts that post that way.

HN is not a place for ideological battle or religious flamewar. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use the site as intended, we'd be grateful. The idea is: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do.

It’s the New York Times. I’m pretty sure they don’t allow a piece to be published unless it does that.

And right in the prev paragraph: "But historical erasure poses a greater threat"

The NTY only likes free speech when they need it for something. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10799556 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19719241
