Your proposed solution involves blanket censorship based on your personal opinions about the nature of a piece of the Internet. There isn't much else to discuss.

Censoring one site does not a blanket make. And HN already outright "censors" thousands of other sites (via blacklist) and moderates a very high number of other sites. So, you're complaining about censorship on what is likely the most popular highly curated site on the internet.

PG shared it here several years ago, but it looks like all the links in my original submission are dead. He said it was out-of-date at the time so it might be handy for someone to ask him for it again, idk.

Here's the original, but again the links are broke: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=707294
