HN should have a bot that deletes any comment that refers to this "law".
- PhasmaFelis 13y agoSure, right after they implement the bot that deletes any newspost to which it obviously applies.
- waterlesscloud 13y agoMention of this "law" has no place on a site whose very existence is based on the idea of discussing submitted posts. It's only used as a shallow, lazy shortcut. It doesn't add anything useful to the discussion. We'd all be better off if the people who feel compelled to post it, didn't. On the other hand, meaningful reasons why the premise of the headline is wrong are useful, and should be encouraged. For example, the post I'm referring to here would have provided just as much value without the reference to the "law".
- diminoten 13y agoHow dare you derail this conversation and try to tell us what we can and can't say on a topic. You have the power of one upvote or one downvote, and that's it.
- cle 13y agoThought-terminating clichés don't belong on HN (or anywhere, really).
