I'm not really sure what you're trying to say. Can you please not be condescending though?

This is an underhanded way of calling someone dumb.

Why write that?

It wasn't a disaster. Musk got all the information he wanted. Mission accomplished. What would have been amazing is if Musk and the DOGE kids he hired were denied access, blocked from entering any government building, and accomplished nothing. It would have been a rare moment in recent years where humanity had something to be proud of.

This is why he should be immediately arrested upon a Democrat president. All Musk's assets should be seized and he should be put in prison until his innocence can be proven. There is a lot of levelling that needs to be done. All the DOGE brats should be rounded up too and their assets frozen.

I don't like what he did with doge at all but the principle of innocent until proven guilty is either for all or for none...

Thanks. So when someone says that, regardless of intention, you're still doing it, do you stop?

Let's stop here, shall we! It's clear your fishing for information and I am not biting nor do I need to be lectured.

I have no interest in being taught by or indoctrinated into any of your's or the left's beliefs. I have a lifetime of experiences that have molded me into the mental case you see before you.

As Captain Kirk famously said, "I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain! You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with the wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves."

There's no way I'm losing what little I got left, so stop trying to convince me that Socialism and Communism are good cause, I know better.

"Hailing frequencies closed!"

PS: Yea, a little corny but true!

Please don't use HN for ideological battle, and don't call others names or attack anyone on HN. The guidelines make it clear we're trying for something very different to that here. We have to ban accounts that do this repeatedly. It's nothing to do with what you believe in, only the way you express it here, and several of your comments clearly crossed the line of what's acceptable on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Hello,

>> Please don't use HN for ideological battle, and don't call others names or attack anyone on HN.

I am perfectly aware of the rules. I've never attacked others, never initiated ideological battes.

Since, however, you state that I use HN for ideological battles, then you must clearly have not looked back far enough at my comments. If you would have, you would've notice that the ideological battles and hatred were started by others. All I have done is to correct the clearly verifiable lies, spoke the truth and published news, from any source. You should also notice that I have never flagged any other poster or post that I disagreed with. If anything, I responded with humor and levity. Some people are just too invested in hate to take notice.

I usually tend to allow others to speak their minds, regardless of their beliefs. Some posters are clearly, too radical, too invested in ideology, politics, to see the truth even when in front of them. Naturally, that mentality means that there's no chance of them accepting other versions of those events, perhaps it makes them question their beliefs, undercuts their bottom lines, hence their flagging of my comments and their blatant complaining to admins to ban and block me.

Keep in mind that I have no issues with being downvoted as long as their is justifiable cause, or flagged as long as it is not done just because some one believes a news outlet is not reputable. You should probably do a deep-dive on my history and you'll notice a lot of that behavior coming from others.

>> The guidelines make it clear we're trying for something very different to that here.

The historical radicalism, intolerance to differing points of view, and lack of freedom of expression here is preventing you from accomplishing your mission.

That being said, I understand your concerns and your policies. I will continue to allow others to speak their minds, regardless of my believes, but speak the truth as needed. Hopefully they will allow me to do the same.

I trust HN will improve their refereeing of the radicals here so that people can express their opinions freely because this is looking like a WNBA-refereed match with me feeling like Caitlin Clark on the court. Thank you, Will Hunting
