- whatshisface 6y agoFor better or worse, the HN ethos is to avoid anything with more than a certain average emotional intensity associated with it. I guess I can see the reasoning, otherwise the most intense stories would rocket straight to the top and stay there permanently. There wouldn't be any room left to discuss tech stuff.
