To be honest my interpretation of 'trolling' is the age old one. Saying something outrageous, looking for an emotional response. I don't see any of those posts doing that, seem measured to me. If I didn't think so, I'd definitely retract/apologize.

I just thought this was an open forum for the Real McCoys where we could signal not only people but employers out on what appeared to me to be BS. I am interested in jobs myself. If we can't call them into question in the lion's den of developers that is HN, which has been made clear- I find that as quite the letdown.

I'd like to see them required to put if they respect the 8 hour workday or not to truly separate the wheat from the chaff. Then it would be more than just the same as hitting up indeed.com.. just another recruiters playpen.

Regardless I do respect your guys' site, your rules and wishes. I know more now about HN than I did before and won't do it again.

That's how democracy works. It's also why I'm an independent: people must earn my support. That's not "crying", it would be a systemic change to crony politics of the rank-and-file that have ruled for decades. That's why this movement is so powerful.

No one else has earned my support yet other than Bernie. Being a party mook is nothing to be proud of. When she was campaigning for Barry Goldwater, Bernie was getting arrested protesting for civil rights. Hillary has not earned the win anyway, it's all based on superdelegates whom many declared their support before a single vote was cast. That's anointment not election. She's feeling the Bern I assure you, or will be soon because she has an enthusiasm gap outside of Wall Street. I wouldn't work for Hillary's campaign even if they did pay me. Dirty money as far as I'm concerned.

Who is Klein? Do you mean Jill Stein?

And I don't see what you mean by #BernieOrBust being intellectually dishonest, can you explain? There is so little substantive difference between Trump and Clinton, that I completely understand how Sanders supporters feel that way.
