Speaking of pausing a beat, rereading, and reflecting before posting... That comment is not denunciation. It's some sarcasm followed by me saying this drive-by denunciative journalism makes me sick. I see this as different from "they should be silenced!" or even "boycott all of their advertisers!", let alone "break out the torches and pitchforks!". I enumerated these, uh, "content providers" because not everyone will read the article in depth and recognize the breadth of sites who jumped on this bandwagon. I also wanted to make sure that people recognized that BuzzFeedNews, not BuzzFeed, was the offender in this case (you have to examine the quoted link to see that, as they are just referred to as "BuzzFeed" in the text). The distinction is important given the routine HN brigading in defense of the former in contrast to the latter.
