That sounds extremely bad but please don't take HN threads on generic flamewar tangents. What this leads to is every thread converging on the worst things people have to bring up. It's not that those things aren't bad (of course they are—that's why people bring them up). It's that such a site would be completely against the mandate of this one (as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), so we have to be careful not to let it develop that way.
