Fair enough https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23725966 (18 points, 4 comments, Flagged. Posted 1 day ago) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23727763 (10 points, 3 comments, Not Flagged. Posted 1 day ago) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23738264 (22 points, 4 comments, Flagged, Dead. Posted 3 hours ago) & yours (21 points, 14 comments, Flagged) I don't have a stance on the topic (that I want to discuss or is relevant here) but I nearly skipped it since it seemed a bit Off Topic in regards to the submission guidelines and possibly a bit 'hot button-ish' but was intrigued enough to take a look and comment after seeing a 21 point submission being Flagged. Hope that helps [Edit to add - I didn't downvote or flag any of these but up till now had not read any of the links nor comments]
