I agree. It's one of my very favorite things about stacker. It feels pure. And people here are generally pretty awesome, even when we have different ideas on things. 

Remember

I've had my ego hurt before and I wanted to mute but then I thought about people who never mute and they are good examples.

Where do we draw the line on free speech on stacker news?

Personally, I haven't even run into anything bad enough for me to consider muting them, but if someone was doing something that I truly couldn't stand, I'd just mute them. 

I think communities like SN are pretty good at self policing.
