This account has been quietly rate-limited and as such I will no longer contribute to HN.

I believe HN to be a failed experiment. Free expression of thought is not valued here.

The practice of downvote brigading is not only tolerated on HN but tacitly encouraged. I am not at all bitter. Rather, I have observed many others' insightful comments suppressed as a result of this practice. Dissenting opinions are not welcome.

This only serves to make HN one of the more toxic forums on the Internet.

I wish you all and your hugbox well.
