This is a better link than the earlier post about this today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20060252), but it's likely to suffer from the same problem: all threads about Assange have become the same. They all angrily relitigate the whole story from scratch. Receptivity, curiosity, and information exchange—what HN exists for—are low; indignation and repetition—the two most fatal qualities—are high. If this continues, we're going to start moderating these threads more heavily, not for or against Assange, but to protect HN.
