Fascinating. As of this moment, this page seems to have far more virulent anti-Microsoft sentiment than I can recall seeing in any HN posting recently. It's almost as if people are blaming the messenger for some reason.

I think HN has had its eternal September over the summer. A significant portion of comments on a lot of threads are becoming ever more political.

Which is a little annoying as HN was one of the few places that hadn’t been infected by American politics. I’m Scandinavian, I don’t much care about the war between red and blue.

I know, right? Almost like someone decided that investing a little bit of energy to manipulate a relatively small forum whose members wield an out-sized amount of power might generate a spectacular bang for the buck.
