There's nothing I can say about "this is not actually the same article" and "the two comment sections do not say the same thing at all" that hasn't already been said by many other HN users in response to this moderation thread, so, I'll leave it there, still disappointed.

I haven't read them all and it's not wrong that they aren't the same article or the same discussion but it's HN-wrong. It's definitely disappointing if you have a big J. Winnfieldean 'allow me to retort' lined up but it works that way for pretty decent, time-tested reasons which I think have also been explained in great detail in the various moderation parables and proverbs.
