I tried submitting this link - https://marco.org/2016/10/17/shame-on-y-combinator and it said the link was already submitted, so I started looking for the link to read the discussion but couldn't find it anywhere including https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=marco.org<p>Was it censored?
No, moderators have not penalized this or other Thiel stories. Users flagged this one before we could override them, but the discussion is now taking place here: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12733024" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12733024</a>.
Yup, any discussion of Thiel or YC's ethics is flagged, e.g. these threads with hundreds of comments:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12726970" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12726970</a>
<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12716825" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12716825</a><p>Because the discussions weren't "civil" (IMAGINE).
Here it is: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12731270" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12731270</a>
I think we should all read this <a href="http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-trumps-rise-that-no-one-talks-about_p2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-trumps-rise-that-no-on...</a><p>Thiel has stated that giving women the vote was a bad idea.<p><a href="https://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/education-libertarian" rel="nofollow">https://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/educatio...</a><p>Basically he believes in the rest of the country outside the city and the old ways in which they were not so desperate.

Yeah, that doesn't look good. Still interesting that people have the reflex to shut things down, even though they should know better.
