Users of the site, like me, with more than some (nominal, low) amount of karma points clicked the "flag" button that appears under the headline and flagged it off the site.

Your story hasn't been "banned".

what's the difference? It was upvoted to the main page then flagging boots it off right?

and why did you flag it if you don't mind me asking?

It makes an argument I agree with but have read in dozens of other places, and makes it in an insufferable tone. It's written in such a way that it will generate a horrible thread here. Some topics are worth long arguments on HN, but the Nth take on why Thiel vs Gawker is ominous isn't one of them.

ah. just see you edited your comment here. glad you agree w/ the argument.
