I too disagree with a posted link, and therefore earnestly believe that it should be censored so nobody can see it.

The introspective point raised is quite valid (and has already spawned discussion); the public shaming of an individual citizen of this community is unacceptable. It's not about censorship of ideas - it's about cutting off the funding (and in this case motive) for yet another case of a non-hacker outsider attacking one of us for personal gain.

Are you trying to build 1984 society here?

I was being sarcastic, to highlight what i viewed as the absurdity of the parent comment. I'm sorry if that didn't come through. Unless YOU were being sarcastic and -I- failed to get it...
Oh god I don't know what's real anymore. Help, I'm trapped in a sarcasm factory.
This public singling out of one of us for ad impressions should be taken personally by every commenter here. I know it's the 3072nd time someone has said this, but techcrunch.com should just really be added to the spam blacklist.
Unfortunately, flagging kills any ongoing discussion. Someone with the ability should just take it upon themselves to edit the url of this topic to be self-referential or point to the old topic.
