I follow Elon, and Elon retweeted Mike, and then I clicked through and saw a verified user's comment (Paul). I just thought he was being very pedantic/rude for someone with 2M followers, and I am fond of this HN guideline, so I pasted it in and hit send thinking it was just a little funny, condescending, and trollish. Wasn't until later, after it got some engagement that I realized it was Paul of YCombinator. I'm not mad he blocked me, I just like the irony. I like to intentionally follow people who have (rational) views I don't agree with, or just don't understand. Even so, I do find enjoyment in smashing that block button myself from time to time. > I don't believe he wrote or had anything to do with the guideline you quoted at him. Perhaps he didn't take part in writing it. But I disagree that he doesn't have anything to do with it, since he takes credit for the site existing. I dodn't think it really matters though. And I didn't realize it was him until after I replied, so I can't claim that's why I posted it.
