So this is the level of maturity we're to expect in the future from news.ycombinator?
This is the level of maturity it's always had; as jrockway courteously points out, he's been foaming at the mouth in iPhone-related threads since before you signed up.
More importantly, though, I'd recommend you spend some time reading through Clay Shirky's writings on online communities; the "once upon a time it was wonderful, now all the new people are ruining it" myth is pervasive and can be a sign of deep trouble (see, in particular, "A Group is its Own Worst Enemy").
- jrockway 17y agoFoaming at the mouth? I don't think so. I am just reminding people of how Apple harms them. Now, I agree that I comment on way too many Apple-related articles, but since HN has recently become "iPad News" and I haven't found another site to read, I don't really have a choice. I would love it if Apple was never mentioned here again. Who cares what they are up to?
- billswift 17y agoI was thinking a couple of days ago that maybe we need a plug-in or something that will ignore anything with Apple, iPhone, or iPad in the title or url.
