What's with linking to an old "XML sucks" page with no content, insight or original thought? Is it bash <whatever-was-on-the-homepage-a-few-hours-ago> time?

If you refresh HN regularly, you will see that really often. People are just gaming the community for a few upvotes or views as far as I can tell.
I see this timeline all the time: 1. User posts article about xyz technology 2. User posts article negating post 1 3. Most boring shitstorm every occurs 4. karma karma karma
I think you just described every discussion medium on the Internet.
As a reddit refugee, I was hoping for a little more on HN.
