I am not sure if you have seen that there's a flagging war going on on HN lately. The commenter probably didn't link on purpose to prevent that.
Just saying that we need a more neutral medium for the HN crowd if that kind of discussions afen't allowed. Turning a blind eye to what's going on is what got us into this mess.
Linking – or better still, quoting – makes me more comfortable vouching for comments. (I vouched here, because the discussion below the comment is worthwhile, but the comment itself is practically unreadable.)
