Even small power corrupts.
- farmdawgnation 14y agoI'd like to hear an actual statement from one of the mods before jumping to that conclusion. You never know. heh.
- citricsquid 14y agoI would suspect it's more likely that PG etc. have no interest in the politics of HN and just want a community for hackers so the submission was killed because it's never going to be addressed, not because they're "hiding" this problem.
- knowtheory 14y agoI don't think that's accurate. PG is very much concerned about the social health of HN (and sure politics to some extent), but I'm not clear that either PG or other mods think that threads such as the one under discussion are constructive.
