  That's a semantic game. We all know what the word "politics" in the site guidelines means.

    So the articles are interesting and have huge ratings so they are of interest to hackers and they are about technology, but one person with power decides he doesn't want to see the topic discussed, so he squashes all discussion with the thumb of a dictator who must not be questioned. How is this not politics.

      Just so everyone's clear, the mighty-thumbed dictator we're talking about here is Paul Graham.
