Then un-flag it, dang.

You explained to me (and HN) recently that posts which are critical of HN itself are moderated less, not more, than others.

The same standard should apply to posts in which a greatly disadvantaged group are standing up to a vastly superior power, all else being equal (credibility, tactics, nature of grievance, etc.)

As with content concerning the events of June 4, 1989, in Tiananmen Square, China.

Dupes should be merged. Valid freestanding posts should be unflagged.



I've unflagged it. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27399369.

Btw I'm not necessarily agreeing that those were bad flags; but in cases like this, the community has the final say.


Thanks, apprciated.
