Seriously? Come on.. Even if you've only been half paying attention the last several days, you'd realize that this issue is quite serious and personal to a lot of people. If, when you saw this post, all that came to your mind was a smart ass comment.. Please, next time, keep it to yourself.
I find your comment offensive, given that I've right of free speech, which is guaranteed by constitution.
I find your understanding of "constitution" offensive.
The First Amendment prohibits the government from passing a law that abridges or censors your right to speak publicly. It does not grant you the absolute right to say whatever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want, free of consequence.
Hacker News has a constitution? Could you link me to it?
Can you just once read the Constitution you're attempting to quote?
I wonder if every user created in the last 7 days should be hellbanned, it seems the vast majority of them are lolcats-/b/ers and other derivatives who found this place due to last week's news explosion.
I'd support this if the hellban expired for new posts in a few weeks. The kind of person who makes such unwanted contributions isn't likely to stick around longer than a week without getting a rise out of people, but a genuine user might.
Do you even think that's funny? Even putting whether or not it offends people aside, it isn't even funny. Just stupid.
I would think they'd be more interested in tangible assets.
