EDIT: no longer Flagged by me.

Flagged because this is just going to devolve into arguing. I doubt there's going to be much insightful conversation happening in this thread.

HN works because of the good decisions made. I wish people would stop try to destroy that.

I wish people would stop trying to destroy a conversation that others clearly want to have.

I don't see any arguing going on here, just a healthy debate about free speech balancing while still deploying spam blocking techniques.

This is a political and a technical issue. It's a fascinating problem with no perfect solution (yet?)

Understood. I've skimmed over the thread and I admit I was wrong. For what it's worth, thank you for convincing me to take a second look and remove the flag.

I do see that other(s) have flagged it though.

On the other hand, I feel a technical audience should understand the importance of peer review. I don't like the idea of stifling conversation because "trolls will ruin it". Yes, you can apply that as a blanket deflection of any sort of decision.

from who's perspective?
