I'm more interested in what this story says about HN? How often does HN get wrapped up in personal stories without hearing the other side? Or get wrapped up in virtually meaningless drama like this such that we have THREE such major "stories" throughout the day distracting from things of legitimate interest or value to "hackers" (or their bossses, etc).

I pay about as much attention to these stories as I do the stories that volley back and forth on peoples' blogs and the front page of HN.

Though I must say, three in one day was enough to troll me into both coming here and even commenting a smidgen of frustration/surprise.

This isn't the HN effect it's the future of news unfortunately.
