Man I wish i had half of the energy of this author.



> I wish i had half of the energy of this guy

Trolling will get you banned here, so please don't.


i swear i'm not trolling, i had no idea the author is woman.


Sorry for misinterpreting you! All we can do is pattern-match, and sometimes the pattern doesn't match.


So, you are not going to unflag, undead the comment you killed, right? The one you are sorry about, claiming you misinterpreted them. Just curious, not trolling.


Ah good point. Normally I do that, but I forgot to do it here. Fixed now.


not your fault, she is trans so sensitive subject. She generally hides references to it, but her picture is on her site linked by others.


That’s the ideal representation of your moderation practice. I’d say the same as the author, I am impressed how much energy this person has, yet it looks like this would be treated as a trolling by some. You’re the worst I’ve seen so far.



That means … what? I censor whatever I like (dislike), I guess.


"Moderation is guesswork" means that we can't always know what someone's post means, nor their intent, nor for sure what effects it will have. We can only make guesses (i.e. interpretations), and those are inevitably wrong sometimes.

We can't not make mistakes. The best we can do is acknowledge when we make a mistake and do what we can to fix it.

> I censor whatever I like (dislike), I guess

If you knew how many comments I dislike on HN, you would no longer have that perception.



i think it's a woman?
