While I'm not flagging anything (I didn't even realize there was anything going on until about 10 minutes ago), I can see how people wouldn't want to hear about all this drama on HN. Regardless of where the incident started, HN isn't really the place for this. Can't we just get back to talking about X's new API and leave the gossip to twitter?

It seems like if you didn't want to discuss it on HN the easiest way would be to just let one story sit on the page where others who do want to discuss it can do so and ignore that one story. If people are flagging these because they don't want to see it discussed on HN they're just making the problem worse and ensuring that it's an even bigger story since it adds another layer of controversy.
