> It sounds like one of your gripes is that the post about Copenhagen showed up on reddit, then immediately showed up here. This is not a valid complain, I'm sorry.

My complaint is that a clearly political post is showing up on HN. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

My second complaint is that for going through to trouble to point this out, I get my karma hammered.

> Reddit and HN are completely different types of communities. To complain that a story appeared on reddit, then appeared here completely disregards the fact that many people that read HN no longer visit reddit.

That is absolutely correct. As per: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I don't think your comments have contributed much to discussion either.
