  Yep. That dude is a clown and undoubtedly a nightmare to work with.

    What a horrible deduction to make from a couple of sentences.

  I understand the reaction (I'm sure many of us had something similar), but at the same time the flags on this comment and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26871185 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26871185 are appropriate because those posts broke the site guidelines—for example the ones about being kind, not calling names, and assuming good faith: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. The key is to understand why the guidelines are that way. It's not that we necessarily owe better to creepy-sounding persons, sociopaths, or clowns (or persons who we're perceiving that way based on a few words we're reading online). It's that we owe better to the community we're participating in. The ecosystem here is fragile and easily poisoned, and since we all want to have a place that's actually interesting, our first duty is to take care of it.
