Probably moderators decided that was Apple flamebait and would generate more heat than light, or that it was off-topic for hackers.

- kenjackson 15y agoHmm... I didn't even know there were moderators here. :-) Although it seems odd. To me this wasn't meant to be Apple flamebait. But rather more about the state of software/tech reporting in mainstream news outlets (which is why I had the focus on the title on Pogue, not on FCPX). Well learning there are moderators at least answers my question. Although I can't say I'm not disappointed by their discretion.
- mooism2 15y agoAnyone with enough karma is a moderator. You have way more karma than me, so you're a moderator too. I think the title you chose was a bit flamebaity (I wouldn't have flagged it myself though). If you had made a blog post about the state of software/tech reporting that linked to the Pogue piece and included quotes, then posted that to HN, I don't think it would have been flagged. As it was, you were insulting about Pogue and didn't make your broader point.
