A comment on Brendan Eich.

Its fairly sad that the only post about this whole situation that isnt writing linkbaiting headlines to the point of lying is filled with fairly weak arguments.

Its a divisive topic, and it deserves to be, but I would really love to see more thoughtful conversations being given attention, despite them not having catchy titles like "employees revolt"

The third link ("for the record") is particularly useful.

Just FYI -- It is also part of this submission (liked in text). And also was submitted earlier on HN. And promptly burried by flags etc. During the #Hot_topic discussion the day the news came out.

The subtitle is more memorable: "For the Record - and The Tragedy of Mozilla".

That was definitely a better article than this one. I'd say that the flagging over the past few days has had a negative effect on HN's ranking of posts. Perhaps the mods could step in to counteract it under such circumstances?
