Hacker News commentary is turning into something I don't much care to read. (Including my own contribution here, ironcally.)

View on HN

I'm not sure it's really turning into something terrible, we've just got some trolls running around this week. See tysonjennings remarkably racist, entirely undefended (and indefensible) post here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4262432

Or his post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4182402) where he rails against someone's anti-Google stance, while later taking on a similar (and perhaps more harsh) anti-Apple stance.

The ease of seeing a users comment history makes finding trolls so much faster. Now I just need a killfile...

Thanks for pointing out that first comment. It is a new low for any I've seen on HN thus far.

It warms my heart to see a thriving groupthink osmotically reproduce and grow.

Because warmed-over bro-backslapping Sailerisms sure don't stink of herd mentality, right? Aren't you late for your mutual-reinforcement MRA support meeting?

You disagree with my statements now you're my own personal stalker? Resorting to some kind of mob mentality group think to rally support when rhetorical skills fail you is...weak. I can't help but notice that at least at this moment this is your only comment on this story so you don't even care about the subject at hand you just wanted to get a jibe in against me. You don't need a "killfile", you need help.

The fact that you care so much proves you're a troll.
