Comment readers be warned, this is a fairly toxic and divisive thread.
- csmattryder 7y agoYou would've thought that the esteemed readers of HN would be able to spot and rise above an article like this, knowing there's no "winning side" and you're not gonna be changing anyone's views today. Humans of all calibre just love a scrap, it seems.
- bilbo0s 7y agoAnd any humans who don't love the scrap probably make liberal use of that "flag" button.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoI don’t think it would be appropriate to rise above an article like this. It matters if a major tech company gets excluded from things, whether you think that the community is rising up against bad tech or that Palantir is being unfairly demonized. You can’t make a rule of never discussing controversial things.

- vorpalhex 7y agoI think that's an unfair characterization. You may dislike what many commenters are saying, but the comments are polite, avoid personal attacks and make reasonably good faith arguments. I disagree with many of them, but I wouldn't call them toxic or divisive.
