I wasn't trying to assert in any way that anyone was unaware of what was happening, or that anyone was a 'fucking idiot'. I was merely asking how people would feel if that content was in some way made separable when browsing top stories not suppressed from being readable.
I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know where you thought I said that because it wasn't my intent and I'll correct for clarity if needed.

It's hard to see how you can hold onto the idea that things need to change while simultaneously asserting a belief that the moderators are aware of what is happening, without presupposing ignorance or apathy on the part of moderators - that is so long as your position precludes the possibility of the moderators simply having a different value system. To me, it appears that your purpose in seeing how people feel, is just an emotional appeal to encourage unproductive complaining, e.g. your acknowledgement that this subject has probably been brought up many times. There's a simple and tested way to move HN stories off the front page. Submit something better. In my experience, meta-complaints about HN content rarely distinguish themselves as better. YMMV.
