Looks like it didn't get any traction or comments previously and was posted by separate authors each time. So what's the point of providing these links? Are you gatekeeping people reposting things?

    I didn't get hostility from the comment. I agree, only reason to link to previous submissions is when there was discussion.

      >I didn't get hostility from the comment. Jumping down my throat due to my otherwise benign comment is being hostile. Perhaps a conversation may take place next time; could even instruct me -- as you had here -- that "only reason to link to previous submissions is when there was discussion." Instead, asks leading questions, and some indirect accusation of gatekeeping. That's pretty far to take things based off a four word comment containing two URLs; you had to assume a lot in order to get that bent out of shape.

        Everyone has a voice, unless you're on HN where smart kids enjoy arguing minutia details about why someone else's argument wasn't up to their standards until sounding intelligent enough they convince others to downvote their competitor, at which point no one wins (on the Internet).

        Your account is 6 years old; I assumed you're familiar with how people link previous discussions on here and didn't need to be "instruct[ed]." As far as I could tell the only point of your comment is "repost alert!" which is why I asked. Since all you've done is take offense and not provide any explanation I take it I was correct.
