Interesting speculation, but trees have been vandalized for centuries...
- cestith 9y agoThat's true, but the article was about a particular tree, a famous tree, that was famous from online exposure. There's plausible speculation that this fame is why it was vandalized, but that speculation was made in the article. It doesn't require speculation about that vandalism on my part to reason about why that makes the story quite fit for HN.
