He did the right thing. He knew he was going to get fired and probably didn't care to work there any longer anyway. At least he managed to grab multiple headlines this way. God bless him.

- jakupovic 3y agoThis is flamebait and we need dang to clean it up. Also, you're an idiot for wrapping your thoughts in stupid comparisons cultivated by vested interests.

- dang 3y agoI agree that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39659092 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39659092 was not a good HN comment (primarily because of the first sentence there) but you and sandspar both broke HN's rules far worse in this thread. That is why I replied to the two of you. If you see another commenter breaking HN's rules, you're welcome to let us know either by flagging the comment and/or by emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com. But please don't respond by breaking the rules yourself ("you're an idiot").
- jakupovic 3y agoYou let the [1] comment stand and was the highest ranked when I joined discussion and yet when I used the same language your warnings and my censorship via "you're posting too fast". I rarely comment and seem to get flagged when discussing same topic, thus making me think I am also being censored especially when compared to the comment I saw first. "You're an idiot" is a valid response given what was there. Whether it breaks the rules is arbitrary.
- pvg 3y agoI used the same language There's a big difference between calling some third party an idiot and calling the person you're ostensibly having a conversation with an idiot.
- jakupovic 3y agoThere is no difference. You cannot have someone calling the protester an idiot and then being offended when called out using the same language. Zero difference.
- pvg 3y agoIn HN conversations and just about all conversations there is a significant difference and HN's guidelines express this. And the point there is not about who has a right to be offended but not filling up the thread with invective. If you thought the other comment was bad, you can just downvote it and/or flag it.
