HN has dedicated people like dang that moderate the comments. Derek only has himself and unfortunately it's now far too much burden for him to both write excellent content, and moderate an increasingly unruly comment section. I'm sure if someone funded Derek's blog to have dedicated moderators it could be whipped into shape and kept manageable, but who is going to write the checks?
