A couple things. First, other people breaking the rules doesn't make it ok for you to do so, and you were by far the worst instigator in this thread. It's not helpful to point fingers at others in such a case. We need you to follow the rules regardless of what other people do.
Second, people certainly shouldn't be posting personal attacks—I tell HN users not to do that all the time: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... If there were personal attacks in this thread that I didn't respond to, that's most likely because I didn't see them. It's certainly nothing personal or specific to you in any way. You've been a great HN user for years! (except for the flamewar comments)
A fine idea. And we all know that people who own land are more likely to be educated anyway, so why not make owning land a requirement to vote as well?
Yes, I support that! Rights comes hand in hand with responsibilities - I don't believe a freeloader has earned the right to steer the country in one direction or another - they should rather steer their life first before playing the rights game!
If society wants an educational qualification for voting it should implement a proper one. It shouldn’t rely on some online scammer trying to confuse and distract.
This is good enough. It's like people who fall for spam and scams - I can't sympathize, really. Evolution punishes stupidity and it's no wonder why all the world is going downhill as this twisted form of democracy does one thing - breeds populists!
