Sure it keeps the drive by visitors from staying, but it makes HN useless (unless you _really_ _really_ like Erlang) for the next few days.

- dschobel 18y agoWhether Erlang is worth learning about is entirely beside the point. The issue is whether it's worth sand-bagging the content for everybody on the tenuous theory that Erlang repulses "the wrong kind of people for HN". Simply, it gets annoying when pg turn HN back into social-experiment mode. Your second sentence is ad-hominem idiocy and doesn't merit a response.
