- Lewton 9y agoYou know how people can get irrationally invested in defending gaming consoles because they’ve bought one for $500? Imagine what it feels like when you have tens of thousands of dollars invested in something where the flamewars might actually have a real effect on whether you ten-double your investment or not I think it’s gonna get much uglier than this down the road
- dang 9y agoIt happens sometimes when a popular project gets criticized on HN and people make accounts to defend it. What we do in such cases is close the thread to new accounts, and we've done that here.
