Almost anything with "Gawker" in the headline tends to get flagged.

I'm the author of this piece. why is mentioning Gawker grounds for 'flagging/banning' this?

Some people really do not like Gawker.

this post is about what happens if Gawker is destroyed by thiel... if people really don't like gawker, then I really don't think they'll like what is likely to come next. this is a prohibitionist argument and it seems like a good thing for Hacker News to discuss instead of flagging.

Really?! This article is not about Gawker per se, but rather about the possible future of journalism. Wired, a respectable publication, thought it was worth to publish this piece. Google News runs it as a featured content.

Dang, what's your explanation?
