I don't see how an American wanting to avoid comments from another continent would make them afraid of a warrior princess. On a more serious note, I too have noticed a shift in the comments on this site; I really enjoyed the fact that HN was a more "serious" place for sober discussion, where most comments were useful (larger signal-to-noise ratio). This culture made me reconcider my own comments on a few occasions. EDIT: Not saying that this is a huge problem - just a development I don't enjoy.
