What is "flamebait"? Unpopular beliefs I genuinely hold? I looked it up and the definition seems to include being disingenuous, which I am not. Claiming I am is annoying and feels like it is a personal attack.




It doesn't include being disingenuous. We can't know what your intent is (<-- I don't mean you personally, but any commenter, of course), and can only moderate based on effects, not intent: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....
