I'm just some shit-talking forum schmoe, if you want to reach the admins just email hn@ycombinator.com.
Personally, and not related to your feature comment, I think this piece was correctly flagged and I flagged it myself. I'm a big fan of Perlstein's work but this piece is a fragment of some three part thing and in its current unfinished form is just the right combination of fluffy and spiky to produce mostly reflexive, grumpy comments - which you can see in thread.
- consumer451 3y agoAh, sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought your bio's New Yorker mention was in regard to HN New Yorker piece. I have thought that for years now. As far as your flag, fair enough.
- pvg 3y agoYou are right, it is about the HN New Yorker piece. I'm in there for the big conclusion as a shit-talking forum schmoe. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20527986 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20527986 https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/1154160128381181952/1565395049/1500x500 https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/1154160128381181952/15...
- consumer451 3y agoThis is truly effing hilarious. I hope that the alien archeologists who dig through all of this find the humor in our silliness. aside: In my fuzzy memory, I had confused you for Scott, the other mod(?) mentioned in the New Yorker story, whose handle I never picked up.
