You submitted an anonymous anti-mongo story under the name 'nmongo'? What was your agenda here?

and now he is openly trying to discredit himself. He is either a troll with a conscious or his cloak of anonymity is wearing thin

  Yes, i am a troll, and things have gotten a little out of hand. Just because a story was very successful at fishing for up-votes, it doesn't have to be true, people around here need to be a lot more sceptical. And i think everyone who truly pays attention will know by now that MongoDB is the next MySQL.

    "....i think everyone who truly pays attention will know by now that MongoDB is the next MySQL." You are joking again?

    Whether you are the original poster or not, you're not a troll, you're a sociopath emboldened by anonymity. Cloak yourself in some idealistic mission if it makes you feel good- but your mission isn't to make the point that "people around here need to be a lot more skeptical"- You're a sociopath that enjoys kicking a hornet's nest just to watch the reaction.

    You're a fine troll sir. Well played. Now please go back to digg/reddit/4chan and tout this fine accomplishment where that's accepted.

My intention was to troll as many hipsters as possible and make them a little more aware of how easy to manipulate they are, without even providing the slightest bit of evidence. It cracks me up that there are startups out there right now, making foolish architecture decisions based on the FUD i'm spreading. Start thinking for yourself!

    Zed has the balls to post stuff under his own name.

    I agree, Zed would post under his own name.

  And in the process of discrediting, you might have turned many people away from MongoDB. You actions seem irresponsible to me. Unbeknownst to you at the time of posting, I'm sure, but your blog has gone somewhat viral, and it could take 10gen a while to recover from the negative press. Did you consider this when posting? Kudos to Eliot for coming on and answering your phony accusations. I feel sorry for him though as he has obviously spent a great deal of time in responding, when he could have been doing other important things, like fixing urgent bugs. As others have pointed out, this is the mark of a company who take very good care of their customers. Customer service is what differentiates chiefs from cowboys. HN is an important community resource, especially for people with little startup / dev experience. I would urge you to think next time before being so irresponsible.
