I’ll bite - I only care because I think it’s important for others to see what your intentions are here. Now that I’ve answered your question, can you answer mine? :) If I wanted to, I’m sure I could Google some of your online identities and find a post your made in the past and then asked in a public forum if you’re the same person. I wouldn’t do that because I think it’s a bit creepy and impolite, but if I had a very specific reason for doing so, I might consider it. So I’ll ask again - what was your intention in connecting his identities here in such a direct way? You said something about “bought a town” and it being “political”, can you expand on what that means?

I actually misunderstood the wording, I’m now aware that he only bought 17 acres + 75 more properties in the area. As for the weird threat of embarrassment… what? I literally just asked if he used the same username on both websites. As for why I asked, I’ll answer again: his post on HN had a different tone from his posts on the bird site, and I wanted to know if they gave context to his post or were unrelated. For example, I do not own “braingenious” on twitter, and I wouldn’t want someone to mix me up with whoever that is. I initially found this thread because someone mentioned it on Twitter. Spoiler: I did not go out of my way to gain any information. As for how this relates to politics, I’ll refer to his own recent post about local politics affecting his project. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32474436 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32474436 This has been a courtesy post because you have not answered “Why do you care?” and have failed to be direct. I will not engage with you any further.
