  People will stop posting duplicates when other people stop flagkilling the article with no discussion. This is so obviously on-topic to YC that there's a form of censorship going on with the flags, either because people don't like Ellen Pao, or they don't like what she has to say.

    Notice the FIRST off topic description - stories on politics. here are the Hacker News Guidlines: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

      You can't just quote me the guidelines. A startup talking about ending their working relationship with YC is on-topic. Period.
