Have you contacted hn@ycombinator.com because Dang is very responsive and helpful, despite it being a very demanding job running HN. Dang should be praised rather than criticized for the wonderful job he does.

- marcinzm 4y agoYou mean imagine being a decent supportive human being? I’m honestly sorry for whatever life experiences led you to this point.
- justsomehnguy 4y agoI'm at the bar RN. Despite it's their work I say thanks eveeytime I'm being served a drink.

- jimmygrapes 4y agoYou just described all sports
- tomxor 4y agoI'm not criticising anyone in particular, but I thought HN might be more open to a discussion about it. I would be interested in what mechanisms HN has chosen for blocking and why @dang if you know?
- altairprime 4y ago@dang doesn’t do anything to notify or ping dang here. Emailing him as above is the only way to get his attention with certainty.

- teruakohatu 4y agoIf you ever find yourself in a job serving the public, you will find it is 99.9% criticism. It's not good to be critical. If you really have to, give helpful suggestions. Don't say, as the OP did, "I expect better".
