You imply that I am trying to police the site. Policing requires some degree of authority and/or power - I have neither here. I have no control over anything here except my words. I simply quoted the guidelines to remind people of what they say, and added my opinion.
PG has said that the words "most" and "probably" are relevant, and I accept that therefore, in his opinion, this is exceptional. I have no problem with that, and I am interested to see if he chooses to expand on that.
This event is a tragedy, and it is right that it provokes debate and awareness. I can wish that it didn't do so here, but that doesn't seem to be the prevailing point of view, nor the point of view of PG. Fair enough, that's the way it is.
Previous interactions with you leave me with the impression that you really don't like me, but I believe that to be the result of significant misunderstandings. It's most likely too late to change that, but please don't accuse me of being unaffected by events like this.
Despite what pg says, this article does not belong on Hacker News. This has absolutely no relation to hacking in general. There are a multitude of sites that will provide content like this article. There are precious few sites limited in scope to what Hacker News should be about.
But looking through the thread, most people aren't posting information. They are debating policy at a time when emotions are (validly) hot. There are lots of places on the Internet where one can debate political policy (and I love doing so), so it seems weird for it to be here.
