Thanks for your feedback. It appears that mentioning a HN darling guarantees that my post gets flagged and will never hit the home page (as of now, 9 points in 30 minutes, and it's below a post with 5 points in 3 hours - how much flagging does that imply?)
Groupthink? Guys, try to be open-minded and accept that constructive criticism and engaging a community in debate is not a bad thing. Cheap censorship is.
