This is no longer on the front page of HN despite 200+ points and having been posted 1 hour ago.

There’s a flame war detector, this has certainly triggered it and pushed the thread down the rankings.

They move uncomfortable subjects off the front page pretty quickly these days.

Can’t have the sheep getting too rowdy.
