Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder (Wired) Posted Apr 29, 2008 6:37 UTC (Tue) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Seconded. (kev009 proves the need of a killfile for guests; linuxrocks123 shows why this is not the same a show-by-guest boolean switch.)
Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder (Wired) Posted Apr 29, 2008 6:53 UTC (Tue) by ekj (subscriber, #1524) [Link] I'd like to suggest that jokes, even tasteless ones, be allowed. It's not as if it's a personal attack on anyone in particular.
Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder (Wired) Posted Apr 29, 2008 12:30 UTC (Tue) by i3839 (subscriber, #31386) [Link] Seconded. Making any joke about this whole thing may be inappropriate, but considering the possibilities I think it can't get much better than this one. So I think it isn't a tasteless joke, but a rather good one.
Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder (Wired) Posted Apr 29, 2008 7:43 UTC (Tue) by DonDiego (subscriber, #24141) [Link] Seconded. kev009, please save your tasteless jokes for a subject that is less serious and less sad.
Removal of comments Posted Apr 29, 2008 12:36 UTC (Tue) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] The moderation (and removal) of comments is really not a business we want to get into. Happily, LWN's readership is of a quality that the question rarely comes up. So when a comment which does raise the temptation to bring in censorship (as this one does), we're able to resist it.The only time we've done removal is for stuff which was obvious spam. (Plus redaction of comments twice, I think, for legal reasons).
Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder (Wired) Posted Apr 29, 2008 15:13 UTC (Tue) by aigarius (subscriber, #7329) [Link] I'd like to suggest you to get a sence of humor which is most important to have in dire times.
Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder (Wired) Posted Apr 29, 2008 22:56 UTC (Tue) by sbergman27 (subscriber, #10767) [Link] The joke is an old one, and was actually funny for a few months. But now it's just old. That said, I find your call for the removal of the post to be more offensive than the worn out old joke itself. You may consider it to be in poor taste. But those are poor grounds for calling for the suppression of someone else's post. When in the history of the Internet did people lose the ability to simply deflect their eyes down the page to skip over posts they don't happen to like, and start calling for editorial suppression and personal kill files instead?
Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder (Wired) Posted Apr 30, 2008 23:02 UTC (Wed) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Killfiles, the early 1980s? (Some newsreaders had acquired killfiles by the mid-80s, I know that.)
