Somebody emailed us who was worried that letting this post be killed by user flags was unfair to other users who were carrying on a legit discussion. They asked if we were meaning to suppress the defense of an unpopular point of view. The answer is no, and we've unkilled this thread accordingly, although it's so late that doing so is mostly symbolic.
We often unkill flag-killed threads precisely so discussion can continue. Had we been more aware of this post at the time, we probably would have done that. There's too much material on the site for us to be aware of it all. That's why you should email [email protected] if you see something amiss—that's guaranteed to bring it to our attention.

Maybe kill the link to the story next time, though? Let the thread live, but not the promotion of bad content or (more importantly) the framing that content provides for the thread.
