Always interesting to see artwork created by a murderer.

Please don't take HN threads into flamewar. Since threads are sensitive to initial conditions, that's particularly important when a thread is new.

I'm glad you're here to protect these cool/hip murderers from the Beat scene. Maybe you can protect submissions about cool/hip pedophile rapist Allen Ginsberg next.

I'd be interested to read and talk about an article on Allen Ginsburg's work, I don't think his actions should disqualify any discussion around him.

That seems reasonable to me. I have no interest in stopping any discussion about him, only an interest in emphatically stating who he was.
