Cf. my PayPal discussion. I was fully aware before he decided to come barging in what kind of pressure and legal strictures payment companies and banks must endure in order to do business. I am even a libertarian.
That doesn't mean PayPal's conduct is excusable or required by said law, hence my stance in that particular matter.
I can be argumentative, but he takes it to a level that leaves me with the impression that he has disregarded the tone we try to maintain here.
He's even seen fit to effectively deface the comment thread by deleting his comments without leaving behind a retraction or explanation as to why. (I have in the past deleted or edited comments according to feedback, and a left note of retraction so that people didn't get lost.)
- ergo98 16y agoI was fully aware before he decided to come barging in Do you mean the thread having nothing to do with you where you responded to my post with- "Stop pretending there isn't something horribly wrong with the company just because it suits your rhetoric." I think your perception of reality is a little skewed, and your unmerited, hostile, trollish response has no place on HN. Also your business savvy is, well, non-existent, which was why it was time for that discussion to end. It was another thread where in the end my feelings of PayPal just improved because I saw the class of individual loudly airing their paypal gripes.
