I just said "top in HN..". I have no intention of starting a flame-war but seeing the amount of valid comments deleted it seems to me that despite being indifferent about this news, the only rhetoric left in this thread is praise, why is praise not flamewar?. I am not inviting comment on this unpopular opinion but asking for a reflection from fellow 'hackers' of how one-sided intelligent conversations are becoming here. People who may have a different opinion about this news may be afraid to state their facts. And individuals like me, indifferent, cannot express our indifference about this event

We don't delete comments, but flags (whether from users or moderators) do kill them, which means only users with 'showdead' turned on in their profile can see them.

If you see a [dead] comment that's actually following the site guidelines and using HN as intended, I'd appreciate a link so we can unkill it.
