Come on, man. In this case you're creating thread drama, and then citing it as a reason to purge the site of similar stories.
The owners can moderate however they please. But the idea that HN threads on non-political topics are somehow the Algonquin Round Table is kind of risible.
- tptacek 4y agoWe're all part of the moderation on this site! I'm comfortable just disagreeing with you that random threads on this site are just as bad as ideological threads are. They share a bunch of annoying pathologies, but not all of them; the political threads are distinctively stupid, and they spread like kudzu. This thread --- my original comment, I mean --- is flagged, for what it's worth (I'm fine with that), so I think we're safe with respect to thread drama here. I mean, I sort of get where you're coming from? But this is a garbage publication. I think it's worth pointing out that garbage publications exist! (If we weren't 10 comments into a flagged thread I'd come up with better words than "garbage publication").
