#2Perhaps it is best that we just let this hacker news item go away on its own.

#3Why can't we downvote submissions again? This is just redundant and unnecessary.

You can downvote but not until you have enough credit. Patience...

#5This blog post seemed rather silly to me. It's poor journalism and quite frankly not news worthy. It feels like something that the author hopes gets picked up by Digg/Reddit/etc.

The author writes for the same blog as I do and I disagree this not being news. It is on the front page of HN right now with 50+ comments. If so many people care about it it is newsworthy.

#7This whole thing is an absurdly tragic event that is triggering all sorts of trollish behavior here. It is very sad, but the resulting discussion about tragedy and the meta conversation discussing the discussion of tragedy is just mean-spirited because this whole thing is making people feel very emotional.
Please flag this post and move on, the blogger doesn't deserve the traffic.

Newsworthy isn't the same as "can get me traffic from hacker news." The initial event was newsworthy. But this meta discussion is just inciting angry behavior from people. That type of behavior drives traffic, of course, and I think it is extremely inappropriate to be using such a tactic with regards to such a sensitive subject.

#9I hate bloggers. If there was a Japanese TV show where they torture bloggers, I'd watch it.

Not everybody reads HN. The fact that it is OLD news here doesn't mean it is NO news.
