Same here. But maybe that's just because I'm not a member of this cult.

2 troll comments in the same post.

Man, I wish PG or someone would just ban some people.

not a troll. I seriously don't feel anything for him more than any other human.

But then why do you feel the need to post that? Do you often randomly walk up to groups of people and tell them you don't care about what they are discussing?

So comment threads on HN are now private discussions one has to be invited to?

Like the original commenter I am also tired of the celebrity worship that goes on here (and pretty much everywhere else). Yes, the man died. So do millions of others every day.
