What is "being bulldozed by them" like for you? I hear this sort of thing a lot, but I really can't say I've ever felt this way. And I am a devout member of a rigorous and conservative religious tradition, but I just don't ever feel personally affected by this issue.
You think there is an organized HN lgbt brigade that coordinates downvoting and flagging of your posts? And they are funded by some external source (astroturfing)? Am I understanding you correctly?
