  Or experience with the internet? Of course outrageous GitHub issues get low quality comments from HN. The guy probably reacted like this because of the dummy comment he marked as off topic and probably made the connection. > 'now you have two problems' b-bazinga. Software engineering is hard. He might have said the same of Reddit, or any social network. It's pretty reasonable and I think he made the right call.

    You are 100% correct in your assumptions. This isn't my first incident, and it won't be my last. As much as some folks here want to call me an asshole for that, we have a very good understanding of how this ends if we don't lock comments.

      FWIW, good on you for managing the signal responsibly. I have to smirk a bit every time I see the public do this to themselves. The public: "Why are companies never honest? Why is press-release-speak such a space-alien way of communicating?" Also the public: reacts like this when someone takes a simple, clear action and explains it directly. (And yes, I know I'm guilty of broad-strokes reasoning lumping everyone in as "the public" and anthropomorphizing that entity. In this context, doesn't matter. Only takes a few bad actors to wreck the signal).
