I can't tell if you're trolling or not. I tried to respond to you in what I believe was a mature and respectful way. You've responded with a breathtaking amount of immaturity. And …

To your question: I censor myself on HN because I don't believe Hacker News, which is often used by children and is a place that seems to wish to be more welcoming to women and rac…
