You are very right. In fact, it worked me up so much that I haven't remembered that I can also flag the article, as the guidelines suggest.

- mdhb 1y agoWhich let’s be honest is what you wanted to do all along. This was never at any point about you personally wanting to not read something but about you making sure that nobody else could. Congratulations, you’re exactly the kind of person I had assumed you were.
- npteljes 1y agoYou're misreading my point. I'm not trying to stop this information, I'm criticizing the editorial choice of repeating this kind of story over and over: both for the BBC, and for HN. In its form, I think it doesn't do the readers any good, and as such, it's unwanted. On the BBC, for general mental health reasons, and on HN, because it doesn't foster curious discussion. We can bang on about Trump, and that is about it. Don't we have that everywhere else on the internet?
- mdhb 1y agoI don’t think you have any rights whatsoever to tell other people what they are allowed to discuss. I understand if you personally want nothing to do with the conversation that’s your right and that’s what the hide button is for. You should use it if you genuinely feel that way but I am having a real hard time to take that claim at face value.
- npteljes 1y agoYou are right that I should give this topic a rest.
