Like constantly banning them with extreme prejudice for not towing the line? That already happens anyway, and it’s one reason why sites like n-gate exist. HN is a parody of itself.

Yes. I don’t take HN particularly seriously and don’t care to maintain an account here. :)

Except really its correct pronunciation is “demon”, just like how archæology and æon aren’t pronounced any differently because of the ash (which British English still uses). It drives me up the wall to hear “day-mon”.
