So I have a suggestion for Paul Graham, the guy who runs Hacker News. Give sites the option of blocking links from Hacker News.

That could certainly be implemented (either on Hacker News, or by the site owner doing a redirect to a permanent 404 based on the referrer).

But that seems like a loss. It's a loss to HN if links to scripting.com were forbidden. Also, within the thread that he is talking about there was a great deal of meta-discussion about the way in which HN was reading the article and reacting to its author.
