Comment by NaOH

I agree that the moderation is more focused on the commenters' behavior toward each other, but I disagree about the guidelines being focused there. Many of the guidelines are written so they are equally applicable to HN discussions as they are to authors (and their works). For example,

>Edit out swipes.

>Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative.

>Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer...

>Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Even so, I haven't seen any basis for thinking article summaries would change those community behaviors.
