Your melodramatic announcement of no longer participating in HN discussions directly contradicts your desire for reason to prevail over sensationalism.
But of course, conspiracy theories and big companies being unfair against the nineteny-nine-percent, are all much more newsworthy than reality.
Hence goes my last post on HN. I'll come back when - if - reason someday prevails over sensationalism.
