News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

If something is (for some reason or other) above critique, it does not, in my opinion, belong on this site.

Sure, then critique the actual topic at hand.

Providing a shallow drive-by "critique" of the writing style or information delivery, especially with such an emotional topic, does not contribute to the conversation in any way.

This is Hacker News, not "Rate my Writing".

If the topic is that someone has died, this is impossible to criticize, and therefore does not belong here. If the topic is the article itself, it should be open to criticism. Which is it?

Read the room and figure it out. It's not my job to educate you.
