Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I can't tell if I'm specifically good at provoking people to invoke the banhammer upon their own heads because
I get serious and forget to keep it to snark, and then they do, too, and then I'm in a Someone Is Wrong On The Internet fight with someone who otherwise would have been a drive-by dickbag troll,
I post under an explicitly female name, or
I'm more of an asshole than I think I am.
Occam's razor says all three TBH.
regardless of the mechanism of action, you are very good at extracting comedically bannable posts from terrible people in record time. it’s very funny how quick their pseudointellectual schtick fell apart when they failed to process concepts like “humans aren’t NPCs” and “having developmentally disabled friends you treat with respect”
God, no, this incentive system is terrible. I'm turning into my dad and I'm getting stickers for it.
(Seriously now I am imagining my dad with the power to provoke people into publicly cancellable behavior with the power of very cranky letters to the editor. He'd have been unstoppable.)
