It's like trying to ban kindness. Oops, it's tricky.

No, it's not. Snotty comments like yours are also against the rules. There are more than enough examples of communities running without politics.

Again, it's been tried. Doesn't work for a place like HN that doesn't limit itself to topics where touchpoints with politics can be completely avoided. If you think otherwise, at least have an argument for why it should work better this time.

Seems like you're in the wrong about the rules.
