The article being linked is quite literally nothing more than a series of personal attacks.

Even if that were true, it still wouldn't be ok to do it here.

Being happy because someone is leaving a FLOSS project is considered a "personal attack" on HN?

"Being happy" does not adequately describe the comment.

Really? OP just wished him well and to never see him again (obviously in the context of Bitcoin). English is not my first language, so I may be missing something here.

Although, I remember similar comments when Ballmer left Microsoft and no one was banned nor censored IIRC.

I do think you're missing something. The comment took the form of wishing someone well, but no one who primarily wished to express that would express it that way.

Why do you wish to never see him again?

Honest question.

The Bitcoin XT fork was not received well in the community.

>Why do you wish to never see him again?

>Honest question.

There are a number of reasons, but frankly they don't matter anymore.

I truly wish him all the luck in the world.

cool, I thought I was the only one over here with that same feeling
