We're all lucky that you got a polite, substantive reply, but please don't cross into personal attack like this in HN comments. It generally causes discussion quality to tank drastically.

@dang, second reply and apologies, now I know what you mean, I edited some part away which you probably meant and which is still in quotes of others' comments. Sorry, I'll try to improve and thanks for the hint!


Can't follow you, what do you mean/where did I cross into personal attacks? I highly appreciate Rich but the elephant in the room had to be addressed, especially on HN.

I wonder that I am the only one that questions his move and that you also approach me instead of welcoming a healthy debate. Whatever, I guess you just do your job.

Btw, when does HN get proper pagination and a darkmode?

Do I get shadowbanned now for asking too many questions?


This is the part I meant:

> I'm disappointed by Rich. Instead of thinking bigger, raising money (it would have been so easy, Rich, instead of doing proud conference talk after talk why didn't you talk to a VC??)β€”he just cashed out

That includes a lot of assumptions and is unduly personal. I realize you're coming from a place of being a fan, but still, there's an ordinary human being on the receiving end of such comments.

Of course I'm not banning you, just trying to persuade you to post more in the spirit of the site! But please stop taking the thread further in this off-topic and personal direction - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29192231 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29191992 are definitely not helping.
