Hacker News has its good days and bad days. It also is going to evolve as the world of technology evolves. For some, that means it gets worse. For others, it gets better.
There will always be people that think it used to be better, because it's easier to remember the good feelings than the bad. This happens on every online community all over the entire Internet and it's been happening since the Internet started.
My only advice for solving the problem is to stop feeding the trolls. Dextorious obviously is trying to get a rise out of people. Ignore it and it goes away. Anything else is just adding fuel to the fire.
