The votes were going up and down pretty quickly and hard, HN has a well-established policy of killing controversial threads and submissions.

I don't blame the mods for killing it, and nobody should jump to conclusions or accuse censorship. I think it's perfectly understandable.

We don't kill comments except when banning users (and in nearly all cases we'll say that we're doing so), and have well-established policy of not doing that. When a comment is dead and says [flagged], it means that users flagged it.
