Honestly this argument is no different than the “why is this non tech related article on hacker news when all that should be posted is tech stories” that pops up constantly on Hacker News. It stems from you wanting everyone to use the website the way you want them to instead of the way they want to. In the example instance the powers that Be have explicitly stated it’s okay but as far as i know have not commented on the behavior in question. You can check my comment history to see i never post links but I also have no issue with the behavior. The person has put a lot of effort (compared to a forum post) discussing their take on a topic and decided it’d relevant and of interest to the discussion at hand. If you don’t want to digest information that way it’s easy to ignore it and engage only on site commenters. For those of us who like in depth analysis that can’t be conveyed in a short forum discussion will click through and continue the discussion after.
