- tpeo 9y agoIs that really a fitting metaphor, though? Because the Eye of Sauron never stopped anyone from going into Mordor or from going on with their own business. It just looked ominious. Whereas HN submissions actually crash the websites they're pointing to. I've only seen the movies (and read the wiki too), so I could be wrong.
