Brace in for the brigading. I'm flagging this article because it always results in a bunch of trolling rather than any substantial discussion.

- rm_-rf_slash 9y agoFlag the trolls, not the article. It’s a perfectly reasonable article of information about the social state of the tech industry, regardless of how the media/workforce/HN feels about it. After all, isn’t the rash censorship of uncomfortable topics the central gist of the memo that got Damore in trouble in the first place?
- lsaferite 9y agoYou're flagging an article because you predict trolling? Does that mean that you expect HN to never be used to discuss potentially divisive news?
- viridian 9y agoI personally hope we can avoid this attitude by and large on HN. The idea that this community needs to be proactively stopped from discussing a topic because a small subgroup decides that the larger community can't handle it maturely seems to be an abuse of flagging, to me.

- minimaxir 9y agoGranted, this submission appears to be softkilled due to the flame war detector (which is unsurprisingly/unfortunately what's happening)
