This is an extremely arrogant position to take and I'm amazed that more people aren't calling you out on it. Your reasons for this are:
1) he provided an honest critique of a site that he uses and respects (in an open format where he was clearly corrected)
2) directed users here as a place where they could find great content to hone their skills
Those hardly seem like valid reasons to ban his articles from your site.
"I'm not suggesting censoring it for anything in particular that he writes about, but because the articles are always such deliberate linkbait. In 99% of his articles, the most interesting thing is the title. But I don't want PG and the editors to be accused of censorship, so I thought I'd ask for opinions first."
If you honestly believe that this is true of codinghorror (I know you copied and pasted from pg's previous post on valleywag) then it would be good for you to provide some data to back this up. Point us to the articles that you think are "deliberate linkbait".
I think a little humility would do the hacker news community well.
