Well, I make arguments. Here, in fact, I was really asking people for ideas! I wasn't even disagreeing with anyone. Its just that, because I like Apple (and that's against the HN consensual ideology) and I'm a libertarian (again frowned upon) SOME people simply can't tolerate me making articulate posts.
I generally get several responses from people who make counter arguments and we have a nice debate (if we both stick around.) But its the people who engage in personal attacks who are VOTED UP on HN and who have there pile in with them to engage in personal attacks, or nonsense arguments, like the ones at the top of this thread (where there are a lot of assertions but very little argument from the opposition).
I'd love for there to be a salon type place where intelligent people can talk about startup topics. (really, and not politics.)
Security of your domain name is a startup topic. The liberal ideology that the constitution places no restraints on government action is something I thought would be kept at bay since this is a conversation about exactly and abuse of that unlimited power... but alas, I was too optimistic.
Surely liberals see power being abused-- they howled when bush was in office, that's for sure, and these same things have been continued under obama, so why can't we talk about that? Why must the topic be about how evil I am for daring to think differently?
