HN Guidelines suggest not going on about down votes btw "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading." I agree though it's understandable if a bit sad that this submission gets flag killed. Better to stick to safer tech stuff unless there's a big story I guess! Personally I don't believe the hype of this "backlash". It smells manufactured.
