I think I have a better solution for stories from Gruber, Asymco and Marco. Have a checkbox in the user profile indicating if you're a Apple fan and only those people see the stories from the above sites.
Instead of trees of discussions and accusations of downvoting, we could have just a flat discussion and mutual upvoting undisturbed by counter arguments.
Won't that work fabulously and prevent this nonsense of people having to respond to actual discussion with actual posts instead of just handwaving with one liners?
Filter Marco Arment? Yes, let's definitely hide stories from a sole proprietor of a mobile software company who's making enough money on one app to afford an NYC mortgage because he makes you feel bad about your choice of mobile operating systems. It's not like anyone on HN might want insight into that kind of person. Solo founder? Nah. Apple fanboy.
Criminy. Do I need better evidence for why we should avoid discussing Daring Fireball posts than a comment like this?
