Hacker News — Where pun threads are not even tolerated in meta-discussions.

But threads that point out the intolerance of pun-threads are well-tolerated. I feel like The Collective has saved me time! Or something...

(More interesting is how these things fluctuate. At one point, the "ur gay" comment was around +8, and my "die in a fire, rtard" was pretty close. Now they are both -4.)

Heh. I'll pay a few karma to crack necessary wise. What else can you buy with it, right? It is interesting that so much info is lost by only displaying the net, though. A comment with zero activity is indistinguishable from one with 100+ and 100-. I'd be more interested in "most controversial" than "most net upvotes" given the choice. Not a big deal, though. Simpler is probably better.

Edit: added 2nd "net"
