I am the one who questioned the account, so I think I can comment on the matter. Specifically I said the following in
Slack (in reply to some discussion about the things going on on Hacker News):

I'm not sure how you can interpret that as "they are interested in discrediting
everyone they possibly can". In fact, I think it's disrespectful to throw
somebody who simply questioned an account's legitimacy on the same pile as
those who "are interested in discrediting everyone they possibly can".
- AnonGitLabEmpl 7y agoThat's fair. You definitely are NOT part of the problem at all and I should have been more clear and separated the two frustrations. I apologize for letting my emotions mislead and lumping you in as part of the problem.
- YorickPeterse 7y agoThanks. I realise all of this can be very difficult. If it's of any use, feel free to chat me up on Slack about this. I'm not sure to what extend I can help, or if you'd even be comfortable with it (since Slack has no anonymous communication mode), but just know the offer is there :)
