Err, that thread was fine until you linked to his history, Peter. But yeah, drug related threads, red flag :-) I hope you learned your lesson.

- petercooper 16y agoI don't see a problem in looking at people's previous submissions - it can come in handy to get some context (in this case, it did, since his behavior on HN was getting him voted down in the past). That said, I just went back and re-read your post and, yes, I see your point now and it's not quite how I read it first time round. I think the real problem is people who go back and vote down stuff to "punish" people, not those who introduce context from looking through your history (which I'm quite happy for people to do when replying to me).
- mahmud 16y agoOTOH, there are threads that are just way too interesting, but get virtually no contributions. Here is a thread with one comment and one upvote, both mine, and it just has the potential of being very rewarding, IF the person who started has any intention to continue: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1852001 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1852001
