Agreed in general, and we make a careful point of moderating HN less, not more, when an article is critical of YC or YC startups, although 'less' doesn't mean 'zero' (one learns about loopholes the hard way when running a web forum). But it's a moot point in this case; HN users have flagged the story overwhelmingly and the comments make it clear why. Since the community response is so clear, I think it's probably sufficient for us to simply explain that moderators haven't intervened in any way.
