In my world press attention isn't something you (should) get delivered on demand. Also, your front page says very prominently: "Find where you belong and join in healthy, positive communities." ("warmer") Along with a massive overload of overly cute imagery. ("fuzzier") So really, I don't understand where you are coming from.

I said we didn't say warm and fuzzy. You don't understand that?

  and he said your front page implies otherwise. You don't understand that?

  You didn't say warm and fuzzy.. you just put this invite-only site out there that screams those two keywords "silently". I think I understand perfectly.

  Well you won't be confused for warm and fuzzy at least. Start as you mean to go on, they say

  This comment is confrontational and, putting myself in OP's shoes, would sound as if you are questioning my intelligence. Can a moderator please flag this?

    I'm not sure it's less confrontational than some of your own comments. Also, it's hard to have one's baby criticized and the author is in a difficult position in this thread, so I'm inclined to cut him a bit of slack.

      I can't believe this is probably my first post on here since I made my acct, but REALLY?! So, because you can imagine perhaps reacting the same way in his shoes it's OK? Or that trolling a person asking for a flag's comments and commenting on his comments is OK? Part of being a moderator is trying to remove yourself or your personal opinions from your JOB. I've been seeing you do more and more of this lately, and back more and more HN "insiders"- removing replies to them, not flagging what should OBVIOUSLY be flagged as per your own guidelines you love to CNP everywhere. For a site that tries so hard to NOT be like reddit, you sure act like one of their moderators more every day.

    I actually think a lot of the comments here are pretty confrontational towards this site for absolutely no good reason.

      It may not be the sites fault, but the title of this whole thread is confrontational / clickbaity. Obviously people get defensive as a result.

    How does this statement jibe with your previous posting of "Contradictory and radical ideas are a necessary part of progressive discourse and they will make people feel uncomfortable and angry."

    Also, I'm not convinced that he's actually a part of imzy. Has kwgardener mentioned him at all?

  Everything about your site projects it, which sends the same message. You don't understand that?

  Don't worry about the negative comments. People are probably envious of the publicity you got. It is very obvious that a lot of hard work has gone into making the site. Well done. It looks very nice.

  Yikes, I can't think of a worse response from someone on the "healthy, "positive" and "safe space" Imzy team.
