I feel like you're reading a different HN than I am. Can you link some concrete examples of someone 'making fun' of either losethos's mental illness, or his OS?

have you turned on showdead and seen some of his recent comments here on HN yet? seriously, you seem more interested in getting up on a soapbox and making wild generalizations about how the community 'makes fun of mental illness' - something I can't say I've seen much evidence of, quite the contrary in fact - than in actually familiarizing yourself with the guy in question.
- asveikau 13y agoI may have been tainted by the first thread I saw here making reference to this guy. Someone basically directly, flat out said you'd have to be crazy to write your own compiler and OS. I am searching on Google and using HN search and I can't find that thread. It was a few months back. But in my searches I did find people making fun of the guy very directly, albeit a long time ago and in some cases downvoted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4466947 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4466947 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4467278 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4467278 And the more recent discussions, even in this thread... I do feel they have a bit of a subtext.
