Who are you? If you held yourself to your own standards you'd link to your full contact info and biography in your HN profile. Otherwise you're just, by your own criteria, another anonymous spammer with no credentials, not to mention a hypocrite.
This blogger explains that he wants to be as honest as possible with his blog, hence the anonymity. In one of his posts he details the deterioration of a previously close friendship due to differences of understanding about business risk and reward. In that context his anonymity can be seen as a form of consideration.
This guy's blog is one of the best reads I've come across on HN for quite some time. I look forward to reading his future posts, and ignoring your future objections.
- giardini 18y agoGasp! Such logic! Such wisdom! Such overwhelming intellect! FWIW I'm not the one claiming I you can "sell your software for $20,000." I'm the one telling you, just like your mother did 20 years ago, "Don't be a fool: be careful what you accept as truth." But if you must know: I _also_ remain anonymous because of the deterioration of a previously close friendship due to differences of understanding about business risk and reward. Since that satisfied you in his case I am certain that you will find it acceptable in mine. Or not. Bugger off.
- jamongkad 18y agoMy I haven't seen such trollish behavior in HN for a long time.
- pg 18y agoPlease stop this.
- dcurtis 18y agoDo you have any criteria for determining when to just ban someone from the site? Do you ever do that?
- allenbrunson 18y agoi know people do get banned, because i've seen it happen. it's always due to behavior a lot worse than this, however. it happens to accounts that were created purely for trolling or spamming, as far as i've seen.
