But then why aren't people on HN down on Samsung in the same way?

Because it didn't seem to be Samsung that launched a war to get Apple's products banned, it seemed to be the other way around.

I agree it is now an all-out war and neither side is going to come away clean, but in the most trivial sense 'They started it!'

But the original iPhone was banned from South Korea for 2 years, almost certainly at Samsung's behest.
