Hacker News Reader

I don't think stories like this are harmful. People read them, look around, comment and that's the end of it. That's not so much the case with the politics/economics stories, which are the ones I have a problem with.

While I disagree with you, after spending 20 minutes reading his forum post, I clicked back expecting to see the homepage of AutoBlog.com and quickly realized "oh yeah, this was on Hacker News"

That's my point. While in fact I do like the content, I'd like to keep this forum more narrowly focused simply because with more generic content comes a more generic crowd and with that LOL cats.

I can see that my mundane comment of polite disagreement above is taking quite the karma hit. I guess the crowd prefers a wider topic scope.

"I guess the crowd prefers a wider topic scope."

That, and pretty much everyone is tired of "this does not belong on HN" comments.

I disagree with you, but I don't think you deserve all those downmods. Upmodded.
