I'm one of the people who can't see it. Usually we'd kill a submission on a FB page. Do you understand what's different this time? Honestly, the comments on this thread are such an embarrassment.

Is the difference you're implying the fact it's Mark Zuckerberg, the person whose company just went public and is a relatively famous Internet entrepreneur? I'm not trying to take a side, but I'm not sure which difference you're implying and which comments are an embarrassment. Could you expand?

  do you feel smart about your comment? if you're not interested in a topic, don't click on it. why are you spending time and effort to comment on something you're not interested in?

    ...what? I never said I'm not interested in this. In fact, I specifically said I was not taking a side.

  My guess would be that it's due to the link pointing to the original source and the title being self explanatory.

  It might have something to do with the fact that the guy who invented facebook is using it to announce his marriage.

Not really. So did he get married or did someone hack Zuckerberg's account to change status to married, or is it a joke, or is it something entirely different? The title tells me nothing, and I should probably use a search engine to check what's actually going on. And if it turns out Zuckerberg simply got married, I just wasted my time researching celebrity gossip.

  "Researching" as if Hacker News isn't itself a form of entertainment and consumption. Let's not kid ourselves...

A moderator replacing the FB link with an accessible link would have solved the issue for me. I didn't ask for deletion. My vote is for updating the HN guidelines to discourage submissions behind login walls.

No need to change the HN guidelines, folks. However, it looks like Asimov's three laws could use an addendum: Be a good sport and a gentleman when significant things happen to people in your community. Apply soft-skill known as "heart".
