With all due respect also, I feel the way you do but if by "flagged", you mean you felt my post should be deleted, I don't understand anymore. Don't you think that topic should be discussed if the problem is to be resolved by, say creating other HNs with dedicated topics such as "hackers-only" HN...?
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y ago"Slippery Slope". I think that everything not biased specifically towards hackers (or entrepreneurs) should be flagged. Probably I'm more aggressive and militant about that than most people, but that's OK too - I'm not unaccustomed to being an outlier, and if mine is the only voice then it won't make any difference. I think that simply raising the issue does nothing. It's creating a discussion - it's not, of itself, adding information. Some people can't see the difference or distinction, but I believe there is one. This item is closer to simply having a moan than it is to making a technical contribution. If you think things are getting worse then make measurements, do some homework, create a case, and actually make a proposal, don't simply "raise the issue". I realise my views are regarded as extreme in this matter, but my feeling is that more people with views closer to mine would mean that there wouldn't be the perceived decline, because all the non-hacker-oriented items would die quickly. And in keeping with this point of view, I will also not contribute further to this discussion unless I think it adds significantly to the discussion. I doubt it will - my opinions aren't that worthy.
