This is a known and old dupe, as well as being intentionally derogatory
and inflammatory. The rule for stories that are critical of YC, critical
of YC funded companies, or critical of the people involved with YC, is
to let the stories stay on HN to prevent the unfortunately common but
entirely unfounded accusations of censorship. Knowing that the folks at
YC want to prevent false accusations of censorship is the only reason
why I'm not going to flag this poor and duplicate story into obscurity.
Though I won't flag it, I do take offense to the endless repostings of
this flame war inciting crap. Here are the previous submissions of this
