It doesn't look good for the quality of discussion here if the most substantive response to your questions was flagged & killed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43143579

I agree. I actually typed up a whole response to that post (which I vehemently disagreed with, but appreciated nonetheless) but by the time I hit submit it was already dead. Vouching wasn't enough to bring it back. I understand the temperature is running hot, but I hope that at least on HN we can strive to have civil discussions about these issues. I say this even though I am personally quite distraught about the current state of affairs.

Since it's still accessible to read, I'd be eager to read your response

EDIT: The response was saved from the dead, yay

Long doesn't equate to substantive.

Edit: I didn't flag it, to be clear.

Sure but parent said "substantive" so since you're implying it's not (but rather just long), I'd like to read why you think it wasn't
