You flagged a submission because you didn't like some of the comments people posted about it?

  Exactly. These threads bring up the worse behavior of HN. A lot of disgusting personal attacks and insults. - top reply thread somebody posted allegedly private emails (now deleted) - 2nd compares him with Rush Limbaugh - 4th calls him a small angry man - 6th a troll calling GPL not free software And not a single insightful or interesting comment. Hence, flagged. Edit: spelling

    At the moment, the top four comments in my view (foob, socratic, naner, & dlikhten) are all positive towards Stallman. Edit: I think this is important to note because it means that allowing the topic to get fleshed out may surprise you. The more discussion, the more mature and informed opinions become. Attempting to suppress the topic altogether b/c you don't like some of the comments is the wrong way to go about it IMO.

      Unusually it turned around. Anyway, there's nothing new on this thread after the infamous ones the past month.
