Ask HN: Please stop.

I credit the community for deciding that an appropriate protest would have to revolve around Erlang. It could only, really, happen here (...twice?).

Seriously, though, if it's true that the origination of this protest is a few fluff pieces, can we agree that a handful of fluff pieces is better than two pages of ... whatever you want to call this?

I enjoy Hacker News because individuals that participate in the site act more like a community of geeks, not a mob.

Forgetting the community: contributing fluff to combat fluff on a resource you love is sort of like getting into a fist fight with yourself. In the end, you've lost.
