Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

couldn’t have said it better myself, but for posterity, they of course sent a report:

Reason: Sanctimonious bullshit, unsolicited advice and multi instance harassment

I initially had some sympathy for their position, but the downvote whining and report abuse really has done them no favors. it’s time for them to find a different instance to pollute.

for me the wat was triggered by “unsolicited advice”; if it was my reply that was reported, i wasn't giving advice, i was setting boundaries.

I specifically did not touch on that aspect because, like, yay accidental benefit? but extreme emphasis on the "accidental", and it's not debate club and and and.. but then they had to go throw a tantrum
