Good. Not interested in having youtube play debate moderator or censor. People have a right to be wrong.
Yeah... no.

We do not need to embolden things like this when it has led to clear societal issues. You may have a right to be wrong, you shouldn't have the right to spread those views as if they're right.

Please don't feed flamewars on HN. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

I specifically did not feed a flamewar; I stated an irrefutable fact and moved on, even noting that I wasn't taking the bait.
"Your bad attempt at dragging this conversation" was definitely a flamebait swipe, and posting flamebait on a divisive topic is feeding a flamewar.

"Edit out swipes."

"Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead."

That's outrageously off-topic flamebait.

You've been taking HN threads into flamewar, particularly race war, lately. That's not ok. Flamewars are not what this site is for, and destroy what it is for.

It also looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle, That's a line at which we ban accounts, regardless of what they're battling for or against, since such accounts are particularly toxic to the curious conversation we want on this site.

If you want to keep commenting here, we need you to stop doing these things.

As long as the people who upload these can be held liable for inciting violence (if and when it occurs), I see nothing wrong with that.
