This was a project Mark worked on his employer's time. Thats why it is different.

Different from what? What do you mean?

I'm super confused. A couple hours ago the two top stories were about mark pilgrim having done what looked like an info suicide. I came back here to check on that and the stories are nowhere to be seen on the first two pages of HN. What happened?

Looks like someone at HN stopped an attention whore from attention whoring too much. Censorship, yes, but nice censorship.

Mark pulled down his twitter account, his blog, diveintopython and diveintopython3.

All of these is his own content developed in his own time, and he has every right to pull it down, if he so deems fit, whatever reasons for that. And he has.

Yet, diveintohtml5 lives on. The reason for it is that, it was something he wrote in his employers time who are at least part owners of it.

I hold high respect for Mark and for his wishes to pull down anything his. I am just recognizing the qualitative difference between diveintohtml5 and other projects that he pulled.

Is Pilgrim the attention whore ? Can you elaborate on why it was a good move to censor the stories ? I'm really confused by this story.

Also, jonathantneal, why is your name showing up green ?
