That paragraph is prefaced by the definition of the word Drama.

If we want to avoid drama, we should stop sharing a significant number of recent events, e.g. the Meltdown and Spectre drama, launches, touchdowns and failures of SpaceX, a majority of anti-Google comments, etc.

What are you talking about? Do you grasp the basic difference between a security vulnerability and a mentally ill homeless person?

I understand your scepticism about my ability to grasp basic differences, considering that we have never met nor interacted before.

Hence, this clarification...

As per my understanding, there is plenty of Drama in the security vulnerability incident - Intel CEO selling a large chunk of stock after the company was informed of the vulnerability; the differing views on the actual performance impact of the patches, the discussions on whether it was a genuine oversight error or corporate greed that led to the situation in the first place, etc.

The reason I mentioned this along with the original article is simply because I was trying to clarify that there have always been dramatic posts/comments on HN.

Therefore, sharing an article from r/Drama sub-reddit didn't seem sacrilegious to me.

I apologise if I have offended your sensibilities...
