I’m not claiming AstroTurf here. I’m claiming “track record.”

For nearly every time I’ve been accused of bullshit, vindication is right around the corner.

I'm not accusing you of bullshit. You haven't even made any claims that are specific enough to be proven true or false. I don't see how you could be vindicated when you haven't actually claimed anything.

You can be upvoted on HN for pretty out-there theories, but you have to actually make a good case. Talking vaguely about a conspiracy and telling people to google things will get you downvoted.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. You have still not provided evidence.

For whatever it’s worth - you have to be a member on HN for a while to even be able to downvote - and I very rarely do. I downvoted here not because I disagree or am not interested - but because this thread went nowhere and you’ve euclidiated nothing.
