This is weird. I know that there is a certain anti-Apple sentiment among many HN users (and I know my own posts get little traction here because of the domain name-or because of my employer…), but the gap here feels much wider.
I'm rather anti-Apple but even I enjoy John's site from time to time. Hell, I had to vouch for this post just to see it. I can't think of any legitimate reason for his content to get flagged as often as it does and it's been happening for years.
