FYI I wouldn't recommend browsing that guys feed. He has some strange posts on it.

  His posts seem sane to me. The sheer volume of them is a bit weird though.

  You would recommend against browsing his feed because some of his posts are "strange"? Seems like an unnecessary callout.

    Thanks for you opinion. Am I allowed to have one as well?

      Recommending that other people avoid a certain page because it contains "strange posts" without further elaboration is definitely inviting the "unnecessary callout" remark. As HackerNews is a discussion site, not your personal blog, some further elaboration on why you consider the guy's posts "strange" (and why you even consider "strange" being a bad thing in itself) would be in order.

      You've been quite unspecific in expressing your opinion: how can we evaluate your suggestion of not browsing that guy's feed without actually browsing it to find out what "strange posts" means to you?

        what if I find svnpenn strange for such an unspecified callout? Is that wrongthink if I'm unable to get svnpenn's approval?

          yes

  FYI ... I probably never would have gone to look if not for your warning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

    That doesn't apply. Streisand effect is for people who want to suppress something. I don't care if you look at that Twitter. I just know that I found it unpleasant, so was just putting a warning out for others.
