The Hacker News community would do well to minimize discussions about optimal editors. It just isn't that interesting or important.

The constant complaints about inappropriate posts bother me more than the inappropriate posts themselves. Why is it even necessary to comment? If you a new item is not interesting, just don't vote it up?

Point taken. But I don't think voting will be enough. This topic isn't the worst, but some topics are really bad and have momentum. To fight the momentum, not up-voting doesn't seem enough.
