The upside of a benevolent dictatorship, such as the moderators on HN, is that unsuitable submissions are killed, bad headlines changed, etc. This makes for a much better site, and keeps LOL cats, Ron Paul and politics out.

Which is why I upvoted you, even thought I don't personally agree with your arguments.
