This is an interesting story, but the thread so far is lame. Please do better. Low-threshold indignation makes for shallow, angry, generic, and therefore boring discussion.

The idea here is: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do.

You are making a shallow, angry, generic, and therefore boring low-threshold indignation against the commenters.

Interesting that he needs to pass judgement on a site where users can vote on comments.

It's been shown time and again that anonymous and unmoderated forums consistently devolve to radicalized echo chambers. I'm glad that's not what hn is.
