No, the article was auto-killed. The blogger is probably blacklisted for being racially insensitive or something. Yet here is an example of one of his posts that did well on HN and generated much interesting commentary: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=280544 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=280544
- ErrantX 17y agoIt wasnt auto-killed. Very few domains are on the blacklist AFAIK.
- occam 17y agoI just tried submitting another article from his blog and again it was [dead] by the time I was redirected to the 'new' page, i.e. a few milliseconds. Here it is: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=686436 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=686436 Try posting something from his site yourself, like this one: http://isteve.blogspot.com/2007/01/illuminating-map.html http://isteve.blogspot.com/2007/01/illuminating-map.html
- ErrantX 17y agoouch, ok sorry your right.. Looking at his material it looks like he qualifies for the stringent blocklist guidelines.
- occam 17y agoWhich item in the guidelines does this blogger's writing violate?
- ErrantX 17y ago> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Im guessing given the outspoken-ness of the guy the material would tend to end in flame fests ;)
