I wouldn't mind that so much but Microsoft/Windows observer (sometimes insider) Paul Thurotts' http://winsupersite.com http://winsupersite.com is hellbanned on HN.
Can't have a Microsoft enthusiast site even be seen or the submitted on the site right? Who knows, it might get some upvotes on the new page and not enough flags from the haters to kill it, it's better to squelch his articles and not take any chances of them hurting the anti-MSFT, pro Apple and Google sentiment on here, right? Bring on the anti-MS articles though, they're surely welcome on the front page.
- acdha 15y agoThurott is more Microsoft-centric than Gruber, who does write about other things, and generally just not as polished a writer or open to criticizing his “side”. I think you get a certain pass on HN if you write long pieces about typography and other web miscellany, particularly if you're above average as a writer
- cooldeal 15y agoSure, that might explain why Thurott's articles don't make the front page and Gruber's do, but does it explain why they're completely hellbanned from HN from even appearing on the new page where people can actually see them and vote on it if they find it interesting? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3408883 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3408883
