  The testicle speaks for itself [1]. He has held a serious political grudge against VC way over a decade back [2], the earliest mention of the JWZ testicles appearing on HN that I could find is over 9 years old [3].

    > The testicle speaks for itself It really doesn't. It says he hates users from HN but it says nothing about why. Is it really just that he doesn't like the traffic? If it's because he has a grudge against VCs, which is more understandable, why is he taking it out on HN users?

      > If it's because he has a grudge against VCs, which is more understandable, why is he taking it out on HN users? It's a small form of protest. Make people uncomfortable.

        What's the point in protesting if nobody witnessing your protest has any idea what you're protesting?
