> HN is friendly to freedom of speech because the site probably doesn't attract people that are easy to act out when offended or those that like to report people whose content they do not like. Or because of the occasional comment that refocuses a discussion again.

In other words, we're dealing with over-sensitive people on the internet? Children, because those are the only ones that cannot accept the truth. And, since everyone is so easily offended, they have to be protected by content editing?

No one in their right minds would spend a dime for an easily offended person. If this done, there are things at play here.

> Also the amount of taboos seem to correlate with hostility for some reason.

I noticed that too.
