It pretty much is all I care about. And I respect that you disagree. Such moderation calls are far from obvious even to me, and must seem obviously wrong from many angles.

But you're in the minority in thinking that TempleOS doesn't belong on HN at all. Terry and his work are something that a lot of HN users care about, sympathize with, etc. No doubt some of the interest is just gawking and the pseudo-debates we invariably get about it are a scourge, but I don't think it would be fair to just ban the subject completely. Certainly many legit HN users would be upset if we did. So it's likely to remain one of those uncomfortable grey areas with no agreement and no clear solution.
