There is undoubtedly a population on HN who finds this saga has been over-analyzed, but I'm curious why threads are still being deleted / buried despite 1) the details having been proven NOT to be fake (an original concern of PG) and 2) the reactions and story still developing.
Many submissions contain similar comments but there's still interesting debate about the legal recourse, social fallout, etc. so I don't understand why these are being squashed so systematically.
I don't know exactly why, but my guess is because it is an objectively small/unimportant news story that has been analyzed for multiple days, as you mention.
