No, I will continue to raise the alarm bells until YC affiliated companies and executives stop getting sued for manslaughter or it's moral equivalent.

Profanity is not ugly, ugly is ugly and you back Insta cart slave labor practices with bipartisan objections of disgust.

Dan's offline now. I'm the other moderator here. We can't allow commenting like this to continue without taking any action. It has nothing to do with the targets of your attacks, and everything to do with keeping HN healthy. HN is not the venue for campaigns against specific individuals or organizations. The people you're referring to are not on HN, and haven't been for a long time. The people here are Dan and I and ordinary HN users. These ongoing outbursts have no effect on the companies and people you're talking about, and serve only to make HN worse for the people who are here. You're welcome to take whatever action you’re legally able to against the people and companies you've mentioned. But we can't have you continually venting this stuff in unrelated HN threads.

Be precise in such serious accusations.

Be precise about the harm done to the community, which I've been part of for longer than it's newer members have been alive. A community in which my accurate forecasting of "risk of ruin" type outcomes has error bars between 60-90%.

Be precise about what a healthy HN means, because that's not written down anywhere, the guidelines such as they are? A masterclass in selective enforcement of blank-check norms for money.

You've got the same dataset I do, and exactly the same access to legitimate authority as opposed to self-arrogated police powers on behalf of public benefit corporations which have neither benefited the public nor a shareholder.

I was here long before you or Dan, and if you ban me, it will be the wedge I need to move this conversation somewhere else.

Let's dance.

edit:

and one more thing, quote a primary source once in a while.

i have better citations ranting than you do larping adult:
