I understand the reasoning behind curating a community to promote the kind of discourse users desire, but the type of self censorship that this comment promotes unsettles me.

I feel like the "negativity" that HN is so concerned about could be dealt with through down votes. The "gratuitous negativity" edict feels Orwellian, and I question its value vs unintended consequences.
