There was an additional cheap comment from another ticketstumbler founder that has since been removed showing a similar sentiment, mocking the Justin.tv statement.

  No offense, but this brings new meaning to the expression "OH NOES". I mean seriously, who cares?

user: tdavis created: 287 days ago karma: 911 it really disappoints me to see users with very high karma levels making such obscene, unnecessary and completely non-hacker-news-esque comments. you are hurting this community: please stop.

  I think it's great that people in this community still feel they can comment without a chastity belt of righteousness strapped around their mouth. Shame to see that going away thanks to people like you.

  I agree with dhuck, don't you guys know that being a hacker in the countercultural and sci fi sense is all about sounding like you are surronded by 70 year old lutheran women at church. I read in neuromancer about how that cyberpunk guy was always like "tone it down for the communities sake man." I think if this comment offended you, you should get the fuck off of hacker news. You are polluting an important and necessary countercultural concept with your bullshit morality. If you want it to be all prim and proper, call it "hierarchically organized entrepreneurial news related to information economies for boring professionals who take themselves too seriously" and leave my cherished countercultural concepts out of it. I'm constantly amazed how many people in here are stuck in old paradigms. This site is branded hacker news, not lutheran technology update.

Such a shame, but I won't be using it either.

  What's a shame? That you won't be using it? I'm sure we'll all survive.

I think most people here are probably a little too ramen-profitable to buy tickets from ticket brokers anyway

> memo to self: stop using ticketstumbler.com That this comment got modded so high is downright shameful. Rather than disagree and state your reasons you would choose to escalate this into an attack on someone's livelihood. This is intended to be a community where we can speak freely among our peers, and you and your little cheerleading posse have perverted that. I'm really trying to understand where you're coming from. I don't know if this is simply a last resort because you're unable to articulate exactly why you so vehemently disagree or if this is a threat you intend to follow through with. I can assure you that if you do, in fact, intend to avoid doing business or associating with those you have disagreed with at one time or another you are going to be living in a very lonely world.

memo to self: start using ticketstumbler.com. I'm glad the guy has an actual personality. I agree with his statement, too. Pills + webcam = boredom.
