You've made your point over the past few days. Many people and, most importantly, dang seem to disagree with you.

At what point would it be better to drop this topic and move on?

My hn name is based on the fact my original account got banned for stupid reasons. And once or twice in the years since, I have had an email with dang or a comment thread.

My hill to die on is good faith. I think dang does. I think any system is imperfect, but that he does a good job of changing bias and filtering noise.

To be a bit flippant: i see plenty of right wing chatter i find ludicrous, but it isn't deleted. Which is good, and proves the point. Dissenting views presented with a different message, without insulting users, and said in good faith should never be deleted.
