GP is shadowbanned. That comment isn't dead, probably just because it was vouched by someone.

GP was banned by dang for "ideological battle": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26809778

GP obviously has strong political views. I don't think the problem is necessarily that they have those strong views, but they could learn how to express them in ways that sound more constructive and less confrontational. I think it is the confrontational tone, combined with the fact that they don't comment much on non-political topics, which leads to the "ideological battle" label, and consequent ban.



Thanks for the explanation. I often forget how good we have it on HN, until I spend some time over on twitter or reddit.
