[HN] PG - Any chances of discussing community changes?

There's one thing that's been bugging me for a while now. Hacker News is built up of a lot of intellectuals who like to have a good debate. But then sometimes people sign up and post rude/hateful/trollish posts and like to hide behind the anonymity.

I've witnessed that on many posts, recently this one: http://laurasanders.net/a-primer-on-sexism-in-the-tech-industry-by-an-actual-girl/

Likewise, with that article there's lots of flagging. That article was at the top of HN for most of the day, and now is at the bottom. It has more comments than any other post on the front page I believe too. It's fueled debate (both good and bad) and isn't that the point of this place over somewhere like Delicious? The community aspect.

Now, I'll agree I'm biased on this post in particular, but I've seen it plenty of other articles.

I love HN. It's awesome - I lurk too much but it does a lot of greatness in my opinion. I'd like to see it bettered.

Anything else anyone else can see genuine improvements?
